Hello, Moto. Welcome back.

I hope people are willing to start to vote with their wallets, because this kind of shit is deeply important for our futures.

    I’m locked in to apples ecosystem for various reasons, but I’ll be buying this as a second phone hands down to try and wean me also convince family on switch over. Goes well with my self hosting.

    That has been a GrapheneOS requirement. Good to see it confirmed on the new models.

    Nothing concrete, but unlocked boot loader is a requirement for working with Graphene.

    I'm looking for whatever independent mobile I can get in the coming years. I'd potentially buy Jolla, I'd potentially buy a Linux phone, and when this is announced there's a good chance it's on my list (as I would also be able to run Linux on it)

    Still waiting on physical wireless, camera, speakers, microphones switches, and hotswapable battery pack dislodges (I want to pop off batteries like I empty a semi auto’s mag).

    Would adore Jack-in, 3×USB5 ports, physical keyboard, physical volume & power buttons.

    Cool, cool.

    Now tell me exactly HOW this will be done? Do I have to pay them $10 to do this?
