I love my iPhone but care more about more about FOSS. All my computers and servers run Linux and I want my phone to as well. GrapheneOS sounds nice but I’m worried about switching from an iPhone. Before getting my first iPhone 7, androids would never last more than a year before they become slow and buggy (LG and Samsung flagships). I also worry about how trustworthy GrapheneOS is, I see them getting in random fights with users on Mastodon—that doesn’t exhibit a stable group to me.
TLDR really love FOSS, considering switching from iPhone but am unsure.
E1 found this on wiki lol
In a detailed review of GrapheneOS for Golem.de, Moritz Tremmel and Sebastian Grüner said they were able to use GrapheneOS similarly to other Android systems, while enjoying more freedom from Google, without noticing differences from “additional memory protection, but that’s the way it should be.” They concluded GrapheneOS cannot change how “Android devices become garbage after three years at the latest”, but “it can better secure the devices during their remaining life while protecting privacy.”
Batt life is fine. Still at ~90% SoH.
I still look back at photos from my LG V20 w/ GCam fondly. I really don’t think smartphone cameras have come very far in recent years.
The founder (Micay) is not well mentally. But the team still does an exemplary job of privacy and security.

My interactions were last year so it seems like a positive step.

Well the claims of harassment continue since then. I’m pretty sure he still has his hands on their socials.
Checked their Mastodon today, it’s still problematic at best. It’s 99% picking fights.
