Getting pixel 9, graphene? (sh.itjust.works)

Hey y'all! So we are changing phone providers and they are forcing us into getting a new phone. I have an s23 which I hate anyway, and can get a pixel 9 or 10 now. I want the 9 since it seems better for me.

My question is, should I install graphene on it right away? I don't wanna have to reset it again down the road. And I don't care about warranties, if it dies I can afford another one.

Graphene seems to support the 9 and 10 from what I'm seeing

Edit Did some reading , it appears the at&t pixel 9 does have an unlocked boot loader ? Is it true ??

All phones are sold bootloader locked, even if not carrier locked.

No they're not? That's how you get GrapheneOS.

Unlockable, not unlocked. My Sony was locked until I gave it the unlocking code I got from Sony's website with my phone's IMEI. Unfortunately, it's not relockable with /e/OS installed.
