Is Memory Tagging Extension (MTE) and/or Memory Integrity Encforcement (MIE) one of the requisite features for GrapheneOS?
The recent moves from Google that look like Android will become more of a “closed garden”, and it might affect the furure of privacy ROMs.
I’m not sure if thats the same reason for this, but GrapheneOS have stated that they are working on a phone from another Android OEM. I have no idea if apple’s chips allow exclusively ios or linux-like os on the system, but how feasable is it that they might consider Apple (given if the inclusion of MIE & MTE makes iPhones more compatible with gOS) in the future?
I’d love to see EU regulators force bootloaders to be open, but they are WAY too neoliberal to force that on big tech in my lifetime, especially after allowing closed bootloaders for decades.
