    The problem is that it would take a ton of effort for fairphone to comply with grapheneOS because they need a separate TPM chip and custom firmware and (likely) a lot of android integration stuff for it that Google has a habit of keeping to themselves for a competitive edge (e.g. new android material designs exclusive to pixels for X years, GCam, etc…)

    I have also heard that the Graphene team can be a bit toxic, so those things combined with the fact that they would probably get <1% of their sales with a preinstalled Graphene option makes it likely not worth it for them.

    I would also love to get a fairphone and run Graphene on it, but I just don’t see it happening.
