      I think iOS is better than stock Android because Apple is not in ad business so it has better privacy protections. It’s locked ecosystem sucks but privacy wise it’s better.

      I went with GrapheneOS because it’s fairly large user base means that it will last longer than other, less used mods. But in the end it will only survive for as long as Google let’s it.

      Lineage os and graphene os are both based on AOSP, no ? How to expect these projects to survive if AOSP becomes closed source ?

      What worries me the most is the support for our phone. Constructor provides bad to average support for new android versions. Meanwhile, these projects can last for a long time. I have a one plus 7 pro and it is running on YAAP, receives OTA security updates every month and all the major versions of Android. Killing AOSP will lead to killing long term support of our phone.

        Where, exactly, do you think the source code will go for aosp? It’ll just get forked. See ZFS and openzfs, or Solaris, and illumos.

          You are right that it will continue, I was too dramatic. However the big advantage of AOSP is to have a solid common base.
