Im stuck with an s23 for a while yet. Is it even worth the trouble of trying to use f droid, shutting off google play services and disabling all the other shit on my phone, when at its core its all spyware?

I really wish an alternative existed that wasn't just a prototype or $1000.

Seems people are pretty confident about that. I guess I am too pessimistic in tech to accept governments and big tech will allow you to have a spyware free phone by any means, but I havent done actual research (Im not a security researcher anyway) into it. So I accept the wisdom of people here.

    I'm just learning Graphene...but my God all of the handles that I'm looking for are there. I can turn off network access for any app I don't want tattling. I'd say it's definitely worth 100 for a pixel 6 to play with and learn.
