iOS lets carriers add WiFi networks that you can’t remove or stop from joining

I will say GrapheneOS is much more usable than normal custom Android ROMs. Maybe this has changed but IME even Lineage based ROMs, official or otherisez don't have automatic updates the same way stock does.

But GrapheneOS and a few similar projects actual have fully automatic updates, for every Android security update and major versions.

Once installed which is very easy as long as your are starting fresh, GrapheneOS requires no effort to maintain. F-droid or even the Google Play Store works just fine once configured. The only apps that don't work are major banking apps and snapchat so not a big deal.

If you have family/friends that use smartphones but don't really use "Apps" then GrapheneOS is perfectly fine.

I am not 1% as technical as the regular HN contingiency - and i can only say - flashing a pixel 6 pro with graphene was smooth as silk. Just requires some good reading and instruction following skills.

Amazing OS...works fast, UI doesnt change whenever it feels like...absolutely the best tech related thing i've done this year.

I would have been on it sooner if i wasnt so annoyed about needing to own a Google phone to use it :P

My banking and finance apps are the mandatory apps that I keep on my phone :(

These are the kinds of caveats I tried to point to in my comment. That it’s not an option even though it feels like that.
