Absolutely. You find this in the section "Choosing a phone". In my point of view, it would be the wrong recommendation, everyone should buy a Pixel phone, just because it supports a certain operating system.

I avoid discussions which say one of them is "the way to go". Both are acceptable in my point of view. Both have their drawbacks and benefits.

iPhones for example have had massive security issues in iMessage and still prevents other (more secure) apps to receive SMS. Why? iPhones could all be targeted with zero click attacks of Pegasus because they have a consistent OS throughout all devices.

Are iPhones bad because of this? - No! But iOS vs Android must not be a religion (same for Windows vs Unix)

I opened a ticket for it but as mentioned above I find that GrapheneOS not enough officially supported devices.

Thanks for your constructive suggestions! I opened a ticket and I will look through them in detail. https://github.com/aronmolnar/smartphone-hardening-guide/iss...

My problem with GrapheneOS is that only Pixel devices are officially supported, which makes it a very tight use case in my point of view. > "GrapheneOS also supports generic targets, but these aren't suitable for production usage and are only intended for development and testing use."
