Maybe I am in the wrong here, but why does HK legislation affect you if you do not live in HK?
Sure. Apple comply with these bad regimes, but if the same legislation is not applied in the EU for example, why does it, other than morally, affect the choice of phone there?
If you live in a country where privacy is not a right= Always GrapheneOS
If you live in a country in the EU, where legislation is somewhat privacy oriented in comparison=
GrapheneOS or if you want the UI/UX= IPhone
And if an EU-country changes the legislation for the worse= GrapheneOS
