The thing is, this whole debate is happening above the baseband. Linux phones (Librem 5, PinePhone) tried to solve this and went nowhere, you can open-source everything above the modem, but the GSM/LTE protocol stack is still a proprietary blob with DMA access to your main memory. It's basically a second computer in your phone that's directly addressable by carrier infrastructure, and nobody gets to audit it. Doesn't matter if you're running iOS, Android, or postmarketOS. Qualcomm/MediaTek own that layer and it's not changing anytime soon. |
