Actually, a few of the Motorola phones do have headphone jacks and sd card ports, like the moto G. Which is why I'm really, really hoping those are the models supported.

    I've specifically heard that it's going to be a flagship chipset at first, especially, so it definitely won't be the Moto G line. I've heard it's going to be closer to the Moto Signature, which is like 3.3 Monero.

    If they don't release this with a phone that has a headphone jack, they are dumber than a box of rocks. Motorola hardware is flat out not great, but the fact that their G line has a headphone jack and is one of main draws and the only reason I've bought them for my kids. If they do release a GrapheneOS compatible phone with a headphone jack, I'll likely end up buying a few of them for the family and it will be my go to recommendation to others.

    I personally might not use a headphone jack or SD card slot very much, but for the market that a GrapheneOS phone would be targeting they seem like OBVIOUS things to include.

    The crowd getting excited about this partnership is pretty much the same crowd that complains about features like those going away.

    You'd think but shiftphone, fair phone, others all abandoned it and thus lost my business at least.

    I could see them doing fine losing those features if it meant the hardware was compact, light, and cheap. But doing it on giant $1000 phones is not going to do them any favors with the lemmy crowd like I said.
