This post was from over 3 years ago. GrapheneOS today has much broader app compatibility via sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer (https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-google-play https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-google-play) combined with the per-app exploit protection compatibility mode), a much easier installation process (https://grapheneos.org/install/web https://grapheneos.org/install/web) and much better privacy / security along with other features (https://grapheneos.org/features https://grapheneos.org/features). GrapheneOS is now very usable for most people as their only smartphone and has far greater advantages than it did before.
There have been massive privacy and security improvements in both Android and iOS too. Android 13 has fewer weaknesses compared to iOS 16.2 than a comparison over 3 years and Android 13 has more strengths than it did back then. GrapheneOS makes far more changes than it was making back then. We didn't have features like Storage Scopes or the sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer. We didn't have a team of many funded developers back then.
