  • Sheesh those are unacceptable issues for iOS devices at this point. Honestly if they even stopped for just one singular update to fix things or add what’s users want I’d be happy, but I guess you can just do it yourself on android so that’s part of the appeal. Linux is also great, maybe snapdragon x elite 2 will convince me to ditch my MacBook but hardware is too good. My desktop runs it and I generally have few problems but I’d really miss Logic Pro if I switched to Linux, tbh that’s my biggest hang up. Also I don’t think Linux has quite the security level as macOS does at least by default so I’d have to do some research into that. But yeah I tried graphene on a pixel 9 for a week and man I forgot what it was like to actually make the phone how you want, and actually like have swipe to type that works for once. I’m considering grabbing a pixel 10 pro while they’re on sale and waiting for graphene support, the MagSafe equivalence is a big feature for me personally.












  • I guess I’m asking for thoughts on a solution. My options are basically A) Keep iPhone as main, use stock pixel 9 as work no changes. B) Use graphene + watch and somehow try to hack a way into Intune setup properly, lose a little bit of functionality. Probably would return pixel and trade in iPhone for pixel 10 and wait for graphene, since I value the MagSafe. C) Get a different iPhone as a second for or upgrade current phone to use current as old phone. Probably most expensive option if the latter. D) not care at all about having my personal device slightly managed and just put Intune on it.



  • Yeah you make a good point. I saw an article recently that Apple is considering using ads in Apple Maps so maybe the companies are moving closer together and it doesn’t really matter that much anyway. How would a degoogled stock pixel phone compare to an iPhone do you think?


  • Sorry perhaps I could have been a bit clearer. One of the devices is going to end up having Intune on it for work, is the somewhat complicating factor. I realize I could make the iPhone my “work” and just but Intune on there but I guess ideally I’d like to have 0 personal related stuff on a phone that has anything to do with work if possible. Perhaps if graphene worked with Intune work profiles I could just do 1 singular device of graphene + watch? But I looked through some threads and didn’t seem like it was super clear cut
