Is there a fork of Android (or a way to harden it) that locks down the OS similarly to how Apple does it?

Apple’s implementation can actually protect you from commercial spyware. I’m impressed.

    I’m pretty sure I heard that graphene could possibly prevent a pegasus-style attack.

      Wrong. While those systems are, in fact, more hardened than regular Android, they can all get infected. So even if the device has iOs, or GrapheneOS, there’s still the human (read: “user”) factor. And the human factor (on the OPSec side or the user side) will always be the easiest part of the equation to exploit.
