Your Weekly Privacy & Security Wins 🏆 (Week 62-63, Aug 8 2025)

Over the past few weeks, my Pixel 7 running GrapheneOS has been overheating. I knew the issue wasn’t due to GrapheneOS, but it was uncomfortable to use. So, I switched to using an iPhone XR as my main phone. I still use the Pixel 7 as a secondary phone for browsing with NewPipe, listening to music, and a few other things.

The win for this week is that after switching to the iPhone, I noticed that Magic Earth maps require a subscription, which costs $0.99 per year. I decided to pay for it, even though it was free to use on my Pixel 7.
