If GrapheneOS stops supporting future Pixels, and Motorola is only targeting the flagship market for their compatible phones, we're looking at truly dark days ahead.

honestly tbh i don't think MTE is such big deal.. but then again i'm not really graphene's target audience.

    https://www.notebookcheck.net/Leaked-documents-show-Google-planned-and-then-cut-a-key-Pixel-11-security-feature-for-GrapheneOS.1382732.0.html thing is if google removes safety features and allow bad actors access to builds before users (4 months) why is that? Because they use the 0days and don't want them stopped. And as I always said (before smartphones as well) you are just three steps from anyone. Including terrorists and drug kingpins. So you are by their own logic , a viable and legal target.

    I understand the purpose of it, but if you are using your phone in a smart manner (you shouldn't use a cell phone for genuinely urgently serious things just for bare minimum) then it's not a huge deal. The biggest thing it will help with is things in the realm of Pegasus spyware that will use memory corruption bugs that gain arbitrary system access. If you do not use the phone for things you should already (even with GOS) NOT be using a cell phone for, you will be fine.

    I consider my phone more secure than my PC , but with more attacks made on it. Same for most people I think no matter OS if updated..

    The issue is the phone is (almost always) always on and you cannot inspect things like you could with a PC. You can't list processes and read through them, there's no syslog or kernel log on most phones that you're allowed to view, it's a much bigger pain to reinstall than a PC is, there are a lot of things that make it an easier target. I would have a much much easier time figuring out my PC is compromised than figuring out my phone is compromised
