My Pixel will still be covered for 7 years though right? I need those upstream updates for GrapheneOS.

Hello, fellow Pixel 7 GrapheneOS user!
Graphene used to have a neat little chart, but interpreting this page
grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices [and scroll up one paragraph]
Might actually only be supported til Oct. 6, 2027–next year.

I get their reasoning but it fucks over a lot of people without the finances to always buy a brand new google devices and who absolutely need that kind of security.
Really grinds my gears because in the end it means only the moderately wealthy really get the benefit.
I have a pixel 6a I got refurbished and I dont have options but to make it last as long as I can and I’ve already had to change the battery manually once myself.

It’s not the same thing, but CalyxOS will run on it and supports relocking the bootloader so you don’t have that security concern like with LineageOS.
