    Everyone out here guessing small OEMs for an official Graphene launch when it’s obviously Apple.

          tinfoil hat on It’s obviously Apple funding this. They know most android users won’t buy apples, they just want to weaken Google.

            Could you imagine if apple created a Sub, where they made grapheneos iphones? Google would lose billions

              I think you are harshly overestimating how many people use GrapheneOS or even care about what it stands for.

                  Yeah, by all of them? Whats the percentage of journalists in all android users? Thats still a minority.

                  Look, I am not arguing against the use of it. Just people try to paint a picture like this is being used so widely when likely 95% of users haven’t even heard about it.

                    95% is being generous too. I’d be surprised if even 1% of users know what GrapheneOS is. Tech-savvy people vastly overestimate the general public. Like how using an ad blocker is common sense to all of us, yet some 2/3rds of the world likely don’t.

                  If somebody is buying a phone just because it’s made by apple, they were never going to buy an android in the first place. Google would be entirely unaffected by this.

                  GrapheneOS goes against everything Apple stands for, how does this even make remotely sense?

              I would unironically buy a gos iPhone. Like not the newest shiniest but older iphones become reasonable pricewise

                They make pretty good hardware and the fact that there aren’t too many different configurations is a plus when it comes to software support. GOS iPhone would be awesome. Unfortunately never going to happen :(
