    I’ve been planning to switch to GrapheneOS soon, though my carrier (Verizon) makes it kinda difficult.

      How so? I’m on Verizon. Swapped my sim and off I went. Upgrade credit issue with them or something?

      They told me they couldn’t get the 256GB model so I said @#^ them and bought myself one

        I have an eSIM which my research showed is a little difficult to get working on GrapheneOS. Also the fact that Verizon sells them locked and doesn’t provide support for non stock OSes. I would have to switch out for a regular SIM, though I simply haven’t found the time. Also I haven’t fully paid off my current phone.

          if you already have an esim on the phone it will not be wiped during installation - esims reside on a completely separate chip.

          all “difficult to set up” information is exactly about that - setting up, that, in any case, is just about enabling specific google services that you can disable afterwards.

          my phone has about 5 esims installed, I regularly wipe my phone, they are unaffected.

            My current phone is a Samsung. Got it before i knew about all this. To get GrapheneOS I’d need to get a Pixel
