Those inside the garden are unaware of the outside world and kept in ignorance. My iphone friends are often in awe when I show them what my Graphene can do.
Sure, we can call it a free choice and pretend it is comfortable and alright.

This argument only holds up against someone who has only used iOS. In fact, I’m actually a relatively new user, not even two years yet. Before that, I did everything you could do with an Android device to make it run as you liked and that was part of the problem.
You shouldn’t have to do anything to your device to make it run as it should. You shouldn’t have to flash a custom kernel because the stock kernel sucks, you shouldn’t have to flash a custom ROM because the one it came with isn’t very secure or it’s bloated and/bug riddled, and you shouldn’t need magisk modules to fill in the gaps in between. That was my whole point. For me, iPhone solves all of that.
For the record, I ran graphene for a while after Google gave the P4/XL the finger after three years.
I just like my privacy and security too much. Using some apple products myself but would never touch the iphone. Graphene on latest pixel is perfect.
I can respect that, but if you’ve never used an iPhone, how do you know how secure it is?
I suppose you could argue which is more secure, graphene or iOS and while most people would say graphene, they’re not willing to make all of the compromises needed in order to use it.
iOS is good enough for most people straight out of the box, you don’t need to flash anything.
