       We'll be making at least one more Android 15 QPR2 release soon to ship backports of important firmware and driver security patches released with Android 16. This wouldn't usually be required since we'd have Android 16 released to end users using the Alpha channel and soon Beta.

       We've ported all of our features to Android 16. However, part of our hardware-based USB-C and pogo pins port control feature may need to be reimplemented due to being part of device support code. We have a lot of work remaining reimplementing device support removed by AOSP 16.

       @GrapheneOS really sad to hear. Please don't give up. GOS is the best

       @topcaser We won't give up. We're continuing GrapheneOS but have to waste a lot of time on device support now. The Android 16 release will be delayed, perhaps by a week, which we don't consider acceptable. Due to that, we have to backport driver and firmware updates to Android 15 QPR2 which is being worked on and there will be an initial backport release today with the most critical updates included. It's not how things are supposed to be. Adding Pixel 10 support would be very hard now.

       @GrapheneOS Thank you so much for your hard work. A quick question: I was planning on getting a Pixel 9a soon exclusively to jump to GrapheneOS, is that still a viable possibility or should I hold off on it? Will it be supported or should I look at a 8a or similar? Thanks :)

       @stormjim Pixel 9a is already supported and will continue to be supported. It's future Pixels like the Pixel 10 which will be far harder for us to support. We also don't know if future Pixels will continue meeting our requirements. Therefore, for the future, we need to pay an ODM to make devices for us which meet our requirements and where we're going to have more control over the software and firmware, even if it's standard hardware.
