Practically same story here. Pixel 7 Pro here, also running Graphene. Switched off my trusty Note9 only because graphene only supports Pixels.

So I know I'm in the minority not really caring all that much about the whole Google ecosystem, I enjoy it and how everything stays connected, I'm not necessarily on a crusade to prevent all data tracking on myself and all of that.

I have a Pixel 6 Pro as well and looks like I'm gonna wait until the 9 pro to upgrade again if possible, my 6 pro is over a year old and still showing no signs of stopping, still plenty of power for everything I need it for and beyond. Is there anything beyond de-googling that GrapheneOS provides? Can I stay google-ified while running it? Just trying to see what kind of benefits it provides other than de-googling
