One of your choice felt odd to me, why choose iPhone over privacy focused forks of Android like Graphene?

Graphene has questionable dev choices, especially given the limited hardware options -- basically, Google hardware. I do not trust Google at all anymore. Their interests align directly against privacy.
If you can't attack their code/work, you attack the person ? Atleast one of their devs is being gangstalked by Kiwifarms and has powerfull adversaries in the weapons industry who work against him and his work. Please be careful with your criticism because there is entire troll-farms/PR-bureaus out to hurt them. Glowies are probably not happy with them either, so that's a tough world they live in .

The questionable dev choices I am talking about is such limited hardware support, pixel devices only being officially supported. That is Google hardware and I don't trust it.

That isn't attacking a person, that is a direct criticism of a project.

Your argument puts the world upside down. Non supported hardware/platforms have limited support for the latest hard & software security features. Pixels simply lag least behind the curb compared to other devices. And if Google, Qualcomm or Intel for that matter where to be trusted they would have made onto the Wassenaar lists as Dual-Use goods already. There are limits to as far as you can go.
Their hardware aligns with security, because you cannot have one without the other.

The software is where their privacy invasions begin.

Upon further inspection, they're the only place to find something resembling secure hardware.

Just don't run their software or use their services.
