Someone will have to buy the pine phone when it is not a reasonable alternative to support the effort and keep the ball rolling.

Sadly...I know. The unfortunate thing is my recommendation for my family/friends for a phone is an iPhone, because it really is the best for security/privacy today, and they at least support their phones for much longer than an Android.

Fortunately, I think that time is coming sooner than later.

I get it, I'm a techy, but until the day is here where rooted phones aren't treated like a special case: for most people if they buy a droid then it's actually significantly worse for their personal privacy than an Apple device.
