   Joakim Melin to All   
   Pixel 9 and GrapheneOS

   I've been a heavy iPhone user since 2007 but with iOS 26 I feel like I've   
   had enough with Apple messing around with the GUI, AI and simply changing   
   things for the sake of changing them.   
      
   So I've been looking for an alternative that's privacy focused, free of   
   any AI stuff and just gives me a smart phonw with doing what I want it to   
   do, when I want it.  I found GrapheneOS and looking at it and what devices   
   it supports it seems like the Pixel 9 is a good fit.   
      
   I have questions though:   
      
   1. Battery life - is it any good?   
   2. Camera and apps for it - can I still take decent photos with it?   
   3. Can I connect a WearOS watch to it? I use the Apple watch today and   
   have no problem replacing it with a more Android compatible product.   
   4. Any other thoughts/advice you may have?   
      
   Thanks.

   I like to keep a bottle of stimulant handy in case I see a snake, which I   
   also keep handy.
