You’re still using a platform upon which Google has an enormous influence, including making life much more difficult for projects like GrapheneOS. And I think it’s only a matter of timer before they’ll take more aggressive measures.
Btw, I am not saying one should or shouldn’t use a Pixel with GrapheneOS.
Until the Motorola deal sees fruition, Pixels are the only way to use GrapheneOS. I don’t think that using GrapheneOS makes the project more difficult.
My buddy did that. Didn’t read the fine print. So he either pays off the $700 phone cash or let’s Google invade his life long enough for it to be paid off by monthly credits, and he can unlock the bootloader.
It’s ironic that arguably the best way to de-Google a phone is to get a Pixel and use GrapheneOS.
