Then you lock yourself into the apple ecosystem.

Get a supported device for graphene and you're good.

    No really? Crazyyyyyyyyyy.

    For real tho, it is, but it doesn't include any google services, which is why any apps requiring them won't work on graphene unless you make use of their compatibility layer, which is still significantly less of a privacy problem than the original one.

    Unless linux phones become useable, android without google services is the most privacy respecting option you have available.

    Your original comment was such a non-sequitor that I thought it necessary to clarify. Because an exchange that is roughly summarised as

    "I don't want Android [or Google]"

    "OK, use Android [on a Google phone]"

    Does not really make much sense without additional context. Thanks for adding that context.

    Be warned that Pixel 11 (and probably ones following) will not be supported for GrapheneOS. Memory tagging was removed in the hardware and that is a requirement for them to consider the device secure enough to be willing to support it.
