We are not talking about old Nokia phones, but perfectly modern phones like those with GrapheneOS, that can be run on cutting-edge hardware, with a secure enclave, does not use Google Play Services by default, and has a high probability of being more secure than iPhone or any Android phone.

It is exactly the kind of alternative that European countries should embrace to become less dependent on US tech.

I am not sure if you are European, but why people are still supporting the GMS Android/iOS duopoly after the US revoked the Google accounts, Office 365 accounts, credit cards, Amazon accounts, etc. of ICC judges is beyond me. Supporting only iOS/Google GMS Android in a government app basically gives the US all the means to blackmail you and/or disrupt your digital infrastructure.

It seems there are still people working for European governments (including developers) who seem to have missed 2025 and the first few months 2026?

We are repeating the same mistakes as depending on Russian oil/gas again.
