Is Memory Tagging Extension (MTE) and/or Memory Integrity Encforcement (MIE) one of the requisite features for GrapheneOS?
The recent moves from Google that look like Android will become more of a “closed garden”, and it might affect the furure of privacy ROMs.
I’m not sure if thats the same reason for this, but GrapheneOS have stated that they are working on a phone from another Android OEM. I have no idea if apple’s chips allow exclusively ios or linux-like os on the system, but how feasable is it that they might consider Apple (given if the inclusion of MIE & MTE makes iPhones more compatible with gOS) in the future?
Why would using Apple’s walled garden be a solution to Android becoming a walled garden? I can’t understand why this sentiment of moving to use Apple comes up so often lately.
I’m not saying I would like it, its not a sentiment, its just questioning possibilities. Which now I see how hard it is thanks to other more informative comments. I would not like it in fact, if it happened, but if it did, a gos iphone would not belong in the enclosed garden since its only the hardware provider. (imo).
GrapheneOS exists for maximal security and privacy, not for freedom.
Security is a medium to get to Privacy, which imo is the means for freedom in the digital aspect.
