@[email protected] The initial devices with GrapheneOS support should be available in 2027. The initial devices will be flagships so they'll be higher end hardware than Pixels at a higher price. Lower end devices will take more time to meet our requirements since the updates and security features aren't as good. It's mostly due to how Qualcomm handles it. The latest Snapdragon flagships have the best security features. We'll also need Motorola to start paying them for longer updates below flagships.

    Yes. But the dev lockout stuff that Google is forcing will apply to all three. As I understand it.

      It works through the Google play services afaik so it won’t.

        Thanks.

        It seems that

        The rule only kicks in on devices that come loaded with Google’s own apps and services, known as Google Mobile Services or GMS.

        That said, LineageOS flagged one gap worth watching which is if someone sideloads a third-party Google Apps package onto their device, that package could theoretically include the verification system bundled in

        I wonder of we’ll see more banking (and other) apps lockout ROMs that don’t have GMS, or bundle it in when installed on something like gOS.
