GrapheneOS may skip Pixel 11 over missing hardware security feature

Already discussed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49490702

Why do they even rely on a proprietary black-box security chip?

You know, the one that Google pinky-promised to open-source, but never did.

Just happened that Tensor was the only SoC which supports/supported the features they defined as minimum requirements for GOS, see https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices .

The coming GOS-compatible phone from Motorola will use a Snapdragon, iirc.

If Google was laughing I don't think they'll keep laughing as things develop from here. Stone soup is the nature of these ecosystems, if being a graphene selected vendor gives Motorola a leg up (or back?) what will another vendor do when copying a success? Google could try to take their toys and go home by breaking the API but then certain sectors will require an iPhone for legal requirements.

Trending (again) on the day they say they may support pixel 11 after all: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/117179231167297908

Guess you meant to link to https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/117194007157499435 ?

Are they supporting Raspberry Pi 5? It has very rich hardware.
