Just use the device mobile security researchers use.
You’re gonna hate it when you discover which one it is.
Yeah, just hating on iPhones because they're iPhones is stupid. I use GrapheneOS, and their official statement is "Graphene is your best option for security, but if you don't want to fiddle with things and be in an open source ecosystem, your #2 best choice is an iPhone"
Excuse me Sir/Ma'am is it socially acceptable to dislike walled gardens and horrendous UI design at the price of more than a new laptop computer
I’d love to use graphene if it didn’t require me to buy a Pixel
I genuinely don't understand this mindset. they work fine and the security seems unmatched.
I specifically don’t want to give Google (Alphabet inc) a single cent I don’t have to.
So, idealism over pragmatism. I disagree but I respect it.
In any case, you could always buy one secondhand.
It's not hard to understand for me.
I don't have a Pixel. GrapheneOS now costs me hundreds of dollars. I'd like to be able to flash a custom ROM, but I literally don't have the option without buying into it. I'm sure the Pixel is fine, but so is my current phone that also already cost me hundreds of dollars. This is a ridiculous problem to have.
I don't think it's all that ridiculous that you can't install a security focused OS on a device that lacks the security required by the OS.
I’ll never use an android device again knowing what I know about them.
I begrudgingly use an iPhone, knowing what I know about them.
Baseband will always be against you, no matter what choice you make.
Just use the device pedophiles use.
Survivorship bias: don't use the phone they get caught on.
