Apple has been iTempting me but I've resisted simply because on the pixels I can run grapheneOS well beyond what google commits to in terms of updates.

I also like kiwi browser and it's support for chrome extensions.

Regardless, I miss the days when we had more mobile OS diversity. IOS, android, windows phone, BBos, and palms WebOS.

I thought GrapheneOS specifically drops support for devices once Google does - they even mention on their FAQ* that the Pixel 4/XL is only still getting releases as a stopgap for users until they can go buy a newer device.

Well I'll be damned. Forgot about that one. Thanks for letting me know!

Though they will still be realesing new Android versions, even if the device is on extended security support.

that matters with the Pixel 6 and 7 series that have such a long security support cycle, but a rather short feature support cycle.

I miss Windows Phone. IMHO one of the few hardware items MS did right.
