I just ordered a (refurbished) pixel 9 pro because of the possibility of graphene.
Otoh everything here requires a phone app to confirm every action...
Any suggestions where to purchase one where I wont be giving my money to either Google nor Amazon? (I'm in the US btw)
I buy mine third party refurbished off of Newegg.
That good enough?
I'm in the US btw
Ah well why didn't you say so.
In that case, you're just fucked.
You can buy used on ebay
They have partnered with motorola too right? Basedbasedbasedbased
If the US government bans Graphene, Motorola will drop them in 1/1000th of a heartbeat.
The rest of the planet may have something to say on that front. There IS more to the world than naziland.
Yes, but the US is a huge, profitable market. And companies will bend over backwards to appease Nazis so long as it's more profitable to do so than not.
Within the US we have issues with all the US History books being written to comply with Texas's "slavery was actually good for black people" bullshit because Texas is such a big market and everybody wants in on it.
Not for long.

as it should be
"If GrapheneOS devices can't be sold in a region due to their regulations, so be it."
Wonder if Motorola feels the same way.
They can just sell their normal phone. As long as the user is able to run the installer it doesn't really matter.
During prohibition era, there was a brick of dried grapes being sold as a nutrition supplement or something like that, but it had a "warning" sticker attached saying specifically not to dissolve it in a specific quantity of water, and if that were to happen, do not let a specific quantity of yeast to fall in it, and especially not to let it sit for 6 weeks, or else you might end up with wine, which is forbidden!
I can see a cheeky sort of company selling a phone with a little warning label attached to it.....

Motorola phones will have both Graphene and Android.

I was wondering when I would see this headline. I wonder if any other big names will make similar statements.

Good. Put that energy into a moderate parental control education fund or something. The ID gating the net is only for control.
Better yet, vote/demand actual punishments for parents when their children chose to commit crimes as they don't want to parent.
I'm gonna have to replace my phone soon since it doesn't receive security updates any more and I was thinking of going for GrapheneOS. What do you guys think about getting a Pixel 10 for that purpose? My second choice would be an iPhone but it's both a lot more expensive and also less privacy respecting.
I was also considering a Fairphone but despite rating the repariability highly, there were too many other cons to the device.
I'd concur with the other commenters here and recommend getting a second hand Pixel device. I was a lifelong iOS user until they walked back their end-to-end encryption, jumped ship to using a second hand Pixel 8 Pro I got on eBay, installed GrapheneOS immediately, never even experienced stock Android. After a bit of an adjustment period, I'm very happy with my choice.
Adding to the noise: don't forget that Graphene discontinues support for older devices as well, although the 10 is not one of them

You can get a pixel in the "a" series for a lot cheaper than the main series or pro.
I always run them and they last forever.
For example a pixel 8a is just under $400 full price.
Graphene also runs better than android due to lack of bloat, so you won't notice the lower specs quite as much.
Graphene is probably overkill for a simple (commercial) privacy use case but it seems to be the best for confounding google and also stability. So that's why so many people use it.
And there's not much in terms of downsides.

Using a 2nd hand Pixel 8 I got for 180 EUR running GrapheneOS, daily driving it since I received it.

CA's law is "per child". I guarantee lawyers are foaming at the mouth to claim every child in CA was hurt so they can line their pockets. CA's public protection laws seem to be for the purposes of enriching lawyers. I'd love to see how many class action suits would get filed if lawyer fees were put under a hard cap.
