Plenty of people are aware of the brand for security and privacy, and would pay extra to have it pre-installed. Maybe we will see some re-sellers pop up, but I would prefer direct-from-manufacturer.

I'm waiting for a chill fork of GrapheneOS. I love what the developers have accomplished. LineageOS seems close, but not quite there with features, last I checked. I was happy with decent default security and privacy in the past, and I could be, again, if it ever returns. I would be glad to purchase a device from a trusted party, who pre-installed public source code, on open hardware. I'll be very pleased if Framework ever releases a phone. And sure, most people, in general, are clueless, about most things. Point granted. But the people with a clue about today's brutal privacy situation want device that is reasonably assured to be respect their wishes, and not chained to the whim of some asshole CEO. Perfect is lovely. But good enough can still sell very well. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Seralth@piefed.seralth.com 2 points 1 day ago Not having it support tap to pay basically makes it a non starting for selling it. The amount of stupid selling a phone with out that feature, while the same phone other times it works basically would just cause endless problems. Yes people are that stupid permalink fedilink source parent [–] plenipotentprotogod@lemmy.world 63 points 2 days ago (2 children) At least the rumors that it'd be a foldable seem to be wrong. It's also initially launching with android 17. The article said that Graphene won't be ready for it until some time next year. I wonder if the devs are deliberately putting some separation between the hardware launch and OS availability so that they can avoid getting caught up in Motorola's corporate panic attack when this thing doesn't sell. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] atoro@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago At least the rumors that it'd be a foldable seem to be wrong.
