What keeps me at GrapheneOS is

1. this post by @[deleted] : "GOS, however modest or futile it may seem on the outside, has enabled me to act on what was happening to me. It's a way of regaining some of the control our society has ceded. And that's priceless, as they say."
2. the idea that I can't completely trust Apple because THEIR interests aren't mine, unlike what Proton claims for example.

(Hi it's me again sorry I am using disposable emails throwable accounts.)
Thank you a lot for your answer. I already knew most of your point. Yes, the next best thing after GOS is iOS.

I know that private relay or hide-my-email exist out of Apple, but with Apple, you even get an E2EE assistant (Siri) !! How amazing is this ???????
In addition you get reliable cloud backups, a working payment wallet solution, E2EE photos, notes, reminders, drive, Health and smart Home. You get all of this in ONE package.
The cherry on top is that ~_most all~ of these best-in-class products (Photos, Notes, reminders, …), which, again, can be E2EE.

I mean, all of us security/privacy-focused GrapheneOS users have to deal with a lot of different companies. For instance : addy.io, Bitwarden, ente photos, Notesnook, Organic Maps, Proton Calendar/Drive, Brave Sync, etc.

I mean, it would be cool if all these services had a unified modern design, but that's not the case.
Bitwarden UI is quite bad, ente.io is unfortunately still far from having the same number of features as Apple Photos, even with ADP enabled, … Moreover, they are all very different (I understand that this is also an advantage to not put all your trust in one (closed-source) company, and not to favor one monopoly that kills fair competition.
