    Fair enough. My hope is that it’s as the article speculates, and the devices are open enough that anyone in the affected places can buy a “normal” one and flash GrapheneOS as you do with a Pixel at the moment.

      That would be a fantastic solution. The last time I flashed Graphene, I was amazed at how easy it had become through their web installer. I’d never flashed a ROM so easily prior to that.

        It’s ridiculous how simple it is! My first ROM flash in the early android days relied on some questionable root hack and following a dodgy wiki for hours (which to be fair is still the case today for some devices), but my last GrapheneOS install just involved plugging my new phone into my old phone and opening a web page.
