Smartphones are not safe

Please, don’t try to appear more stupid than you actually are, and don’t run in circles. I’ve already told you: I posted that article to show that hiding malware/spyware in firmware is more potent than doing the same in Android apps, such as Gapps. As far as why Pixels are not secure - the same, A company that (i) has no experience in designing processors’ software (firmware), but (ii) has plenty of experience in putting spyware/malware in closed source binaries {iii) has the primary business model of grabbing and monetizing data, yet (iv) the same company still ventures into processors’ design. The only reason for the above is: It wants to Hide Data Grabbing Activities in Firmware, because Firmware is NOT controlled by Android. I take it the only reason you would argue for Pixels is GrapheneOS. So, I am going to tell you too: Stop shilling for GrapheneOS, which is NOT relevant to this thread.
