If GrapheneOS stops supporting future Pixels, and Motorola is only targeting the flagship market for their compatible phones, we're looking at truly dark days ahead.

GOS developers already confirmed it will be the 2027 flagship models. Yes, 3 models varying in price from $1K-$2.5K.

I said that the majority of GOS users, being security-minded just want their phone to be secure and handle daily tasks, not being a high-end gaming phone. I'm not against the Motorolas, its great because it offers more options to use GOS. I'm against the fact that its only going to be the expensive flagship models and Google is making it harder to put GOS on newer Pixels and eventually we won't be able to anymore. Being able to buy used Pixels cheap is a big thing because it allowed for the average person or someone with not alot of money to easily have a secure GOS phone. That won't be likely once Pixels are done and only expensive Motorola flagship models are the only option.

I don't know man. Just checked a used Motorola RAZR from last year and it costs 600$, which is on par with the pixel price reduction. And I think the RAZR is one of the models that will have GOS

Then that wouldn't be as bad. We'll just have to wait and see. I just hope it doesn't start putting GOS out of reach for alot of people.
