Ah well I wouldn’t assume every Motorola from now on comes with GOS. And if you have the option then it’d be lacking the play store by default of course.

I don’t really understand. Motorola phones have and will come with Google play. There will just be official support for GOS. That could mean two things: you have to flash it yourself or you could get it preinstalled. Either way I don’t see how the first part changes.

Also, how will iOS deal with this?

And I will. They’ll lose me as customer.

Untrue. Motorola with GrapheneOS will still be degoogled. No clue where your idea comes from. Motorola is not even Google anymore.

Isn’t the Horizon franchise made by a Dutch studio?

Brain: I have altered the deal, pray I don’t alter it any further

And hardware!

Would be funny if it was an Arch install script

I’m assuming ceramics to the rescue?

iOS: select two predetermined settings. Android: choose a percentage to your liking! Custom ROMs: you like neon pink? Go ahead!

Then why are fairphones so expensive for their specs?

Most of the ones you named are Android based anyway except Sailfish OS and Ubuntu Touch. As far as I understand Chrome OS will turn into Android, not vice versa.

So GrapheneOS is still the best bet.

Yeah works fine for me. Although only two banks in my country apparently throw a fit over non stock phones. The fit being biometrics not working. So YMMV. I’d say it’d worth a try. Revolut also works for me so if you’d want you can link your bank with that and use it.

Just flash GrapheneOS!

I can highly recommend GrapheneOS!

What WiFi chip do you have?
