Running android puts rather a low ceiling on security and privacy
Edit: ok look y’all, I’m stoked that there are some privacy and security-focused routes for nerds to take, but aggregate security for the average user who goes to a store and buys what the salesperson recommends is an important metric.

I'll forever be skeptical of a degoogled OS that runs only on phones engineered by Google.
You don't have to use Google services on the fairphone. And if you use it without those, Android is waaaaaaaaay more private than iOS.
iPhones are barely much better than Android phones for privacy or security, despite Apple's very effective marketing. They hoover up a shitload of data.
How do push notifications work on Graphene? I am currently using LineageOS with microg services but the experience has been quite rocky
Quite the opposite. Running iOS means you have a device that does whatever Apple tells it to do, nothing more and nothing less. Running Android means you have a plethora of options to choose your level of security and convenience.
