Can anyone weigh in on the real life cost/benefit of going Graphene plus Pixel before I spend $1200. I want to get off the teat of iOS but I don’t want it to be a purely intellectual and tech learning pursuit. I’m bound by work to carry an apple or android device because all of our apps run on it. And the company phone I carry. So I’m pretty much negating the benefits weekdays while I am carrying that spy device. I am thinking maybe I could just forward my work line to my pixel and throw the work phone in a bag. Thanks. #asknostr #graphene

Aurora Store and GrapheneOS' version of Google Play Services helps, and you can put them all under another user if you like. In ...

I ran both in parallel for a while before focusing on detaching myself from the iOS environment. It's much more convenient to just give all your information to Apple & Google. It takes a little work to get your Graphene phone humming but it's so worth it for the privacy.

Get a Redmagic instead for a few reasons: * Better hardware * Fuck Google * GrapheneOS makes all kinds of fake privacy claims instead of focusing on stuff that makes sense, like decentralization and user-controllability GrapheneOS is better software than stock Android or Redmagic version, but it's...
