I am seriously considering going back to iOS. I already made some compromises to use GrapheneOS/Android. The trade off was security and more privacy. But, if I can´t get even timely security patches now, what is the point?
At least, with an iPhone, I will have a fully functional phone (no compatibility issues, a fully working wallet with NFC etc.)
I think the moment I find an alternative to NewPipe and KeppPass DX, I will jump ships. (By the way, any recommendations? I couldn´t find an iOS offline passoword manager recommendations on Privacy Guides. And I don´t want to use Keepassium anyway. Thanks!)
Did you read https://xcancel.com/GrapheneOS/status/1964754118653952027#m and following ? GrapheneOS can work around that and make additional release channels pushing binary releases early to users and delay publishing source code for these due to Android’s source code embargo. I would still considers this much better than using Stock OS or iOS due to GrapheneOS’s additional privacy and security.

Afaik GrapheneOS is considered more secure than Apple so I don’t know where you got that from and as the poster above explained this isn’t a problem for GrapheneOS as they get access earlier.
I think OP meant he/she made compromises in other areas in order to use GrapheneOS and benefit from its improved security/privacy.
it still is a problem if you read between the lines, even if they can release binary builds of the embargoed fixes they would have to put that in a different opt-in release channel since it’d be proprietary fixes from what I understand
I think Google is marking its territory after all the changes they’ve been forced to make due to various rulings. In a few weeks or months, everything will probably go back to normal and they’ll just say it was ‘a bug’ or something like that. That’s my bet.
