So there's this phone. It looks quite similar to grapheneos, even having vanadium.I thought it was very cool, especially since GrapheneOS announced working with some OEM some time ago, and punkt being popular within the privacy crowd for being a dumb phone with signal.All my enthusiasm vaporised once I read about the AphyOS *subscription*.I get it, making and maintaining a supposed secure OS is intensive. And rightfully you're to be compensated.But what the actual FUCK do you mean by> Opting out of subscription will result in *gradual feature deactivation*, and ultimately reverting to a device running AOSP (Android Open Source Project).Stopping updates I can understand, but actively removing features!?https://www.punkt.ch/products/mc03-premium-secure-smartphone#grapheneos #punkt #aphyos #enshittification

@TagHunt It uses a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 with an OS based on the initial yearly release of Android 15.It doesn't have hardware memory tagging, pointer authentication, branch target identification and other CPU security features. It doesn't have a secure element. It's not going to have proper privacy/security updates. It doesn't come close to meeting our hardware requirements.It's not running an operating system that's privacy and security hardened. Standard AOSP 16 QPR2 would be better.

@TagHunt We're working with a major Android OEM. It's one of the top 10 Android OEMs by sales. It's a definitely company you know already. They're hard at work on developing GrapheneOS support for one of their upcoming 2026 devices but it won't be possible to meet the requirements until the next generation, likely in 2027. Snapdragon Elite 8 Gen 5 is currently the only SoC meeting our requirements for non-Pixel devices but that doesn't mean any device using it meets our requirements at all.

So much bullshit.For those reading, instead of trying a distribution with suspicious financing sources that forces you into suspicious hardware: Install LineageOS or /e/OSDon't let yourselves be fooled to think there aren't saner options out there than suspicious distros.

Our partnership with a major Android OEM does not involve them sending us money but rather having their engineering teams work on GrapheneOS support. They'll likely end up helping to improve GrapheneOS by publicly submitting improvements to it upstream.

Yeah. Already last year I guessed (correctly) that you would delay yet another year.That is the usual script. Give a bit of hope to the dumbasses that believe your writings and they'll keep chasing that carrot thinking they'll bite it one day.I'll even make another prediction:In 2027 you'll argue that the supplier changed their mind so you are back to square zero looking for another one. 😆

We said from the very beginning that the expected launch date was late 2026 or in 2027. We can now be more specific about the date because we know the new Qualcomm SoC platform will come out in Q4 2026 and the devices come out months later.

It's the first SoC they've made with official support for it and there are likely also many issues to resolve.

Yeah. We'll talk in 2027 about the new supplier. 👍

The first thing you should find strange is the limitation of supported hardware to a very specific provider, which is a huge red flag in terms of cornering users into hardware that contains physical backdoors.All distros tend to support multiple hardware choices, even at the cost of degraded privacy but nevertheless give that option to users.The second is funding. Always follow the money trail. They are well funded, it is a profile team and yet zero visibility on the financing details. They will always avoid mentioning an idea of values or even being audited by a third party to evaluate government sources of income.Last but not least, they have been exposed actively promoting spynet for users without warning them about what they do. Things designed from the start to catch user data by gov intel agencies.There are less suspicious distros that can be used.

What spynet? Do you have a source? You just keep making vague claims without being specific.

This is just general knowledge.Lookup Tor and research for yourself:+ Who created it?+ Who funds it every year?There are no free lunches.
