From the outside, this doesn’t look one sided to me and Motorola (Lenovo) won’t want GrapheneOS “locked away”.
Motorola partnered with GrapheneOS explicitly because they want the highest security for their enterprise phones (in my opinion), so Motorola demanding GrapheneOS be less secure would be silly for them anyways since they prioritise enterprise (as far as I know).
And in any case, if Motorola caused beef with the GrapheneOS team, I believe in GrapheneOS’s morals to ignore stupidity. They probably have a contract anyways that states Motorola have near zero influence over the OS.
Lenovo and Dell are some of the only companies that actually care about Linux weirdly enough. That also arnt Linux software developers anyways. If anyone’s goanna do it “right” it’s those two.
Short answer, whoever buys them, all of the above. But consider, that with the whole world’s slide to the default invasion of privacy, the privacy crowd might well get invaded by the average Joe tired of all the shit.
The Moto Signature which is their highest end phone is £900, and a price comparison site can get you an under £40 contract, so the successor should be similar.
I want to applaud that but not if its the same as Google android where you’re waiting a year or more for an update. So many features I wanted over the years and was stuck to 11 or 12 at the time(or earlier idk which that thing had but it was a common occurrence since i had the issue with 2 diff phones)
Motorola is supposed to be doing Graphene supported phones soon, whether thats from the factory or with an official installer I am not sure
Seems likely at this moment that Motorola phones will run GrapheneOS be right out the gate as it is a partnership. Just hopefully it’s not a one sided partnership and Motorola doesn’t strong arm the GrapheneOS people into something that is more locked away and just works like an app. https://www.digitaltrends.com/phones/motorola-plans-to-put-grapheneos-on-phones-so-why-is-it-a-big-deal/

2027ish
Yeah but even then - are they targeting hobbyists and privacy crowd? Or more like some special enterprise use case?

It’s definitely meant for their Enterprise customers.
Then hopefully M$ Authenticator and banking apps will work on it.
so, only the most expensive phones not even my small company will afford
