So when graphene OS stopped working for me I asked around to see what the solution was
/g/ told me phones are obsolete
Privacy people told me to lug around a librebooted thinkpad and do everything on that and then switch carriers to one of those prepaid cards and to degoogle
Security people and graphene OS users told me to get an iPhone

That’s pretty much the state of the cell phone space these days. I ended up taking the graphene OS users advice because by switching to iOS I also degoogled like the privacy people wanted and now I don’t have security concerns over Google play vs fdroid or obtanium
