This was brought up before in c/privacy but do you guys think I should trust iCloud Private Relay? It seems to use Cloudflare as it’s DNS as of now and like it is basically a $0.99 Safari-exclusive (all your other apps are exposed) VPN, if you can even call it that. Would you guys also consider iPhone to be the “runner-up” for privacy to a Pixel with GrapheneOS?

    There’s no easy answer to your questions. It depends on what threats you’re trying to defend against. If your primary concern is adversarial law enforcement with Cellebrite et al., a current iPhone, especially with Lockdown Mode enabled, is certainly the next best thing to Graphene that we have.

    Personally, I have access to Private Relay, but never use it. That’s not because I don’t trust it, but because I only ever use VPNs to spoof my GeoIP. And you can’t do that with Private Relay.
