Security of Qubes OS vs GrapheneOS

I’m less than expert on the topic of smartphones. However, I sense that having a secure OS running on a device designed to steal your information is counterintuitive. Both Apple and Google have been caught red handed “accidentally” gathering location data. That’s just the tip of the iceberg.

My sense is that there is no way to secure a smartphone. Not because the OS is insecure, but because the very platform is insecure. There is no way to secure a device designed to track all of your movements while bringing cameras and microphones everywhere you go, while dumping everything by default to the cloud scanned under government duress.

When I think of a smart phone, I see a [CoC breach]. GrapheneOS is the smile of a [CoC breach].
