    And how do you finance the high and long lasting firmware maintenance required by Graphene OS, to stay secure? Is there any anouncement even suggesting that in a reasonable timeline or are you merely engaging in wishful thinking. I’d be surprised if they ever went below midrange with a GrapheneOS device.

      And how do you finance the high and long lasting firmware maintenance required by Graphene OS, to stay secure?

      This first step in the collaboration is not about long lasting firmware maintenance, it’s about getting device manufacturer and software developer to talk with each other at all.

      Financing security stuff is easy, you cut parts and features until simple and secure parts remain, then you don’t update the hardware and do long term quality control, bug fixing and pen tests.

      Plus mass production.

      The way you DONT do it, is price yourself out of all demographics that care about it being a different OS. “High-end don’t care” is covered by Apple.
