Here's a summary of the article and the seven key points mentioned about switching to GrapheneOS:

Summary: The article discusses GrapheneOS, a secure, privacy-focused mobile operating system based on Android. It highlights the benefits of switching to GrapheneOS, its features, compatibility, and user experience. The article also addresses potential concerns and provides information on reverting to standard Android if desired.

The seven things you should know before switching to GrapheneOS:

1. Compatibility: Currently only supported on Google Pixel devices (Pixel 3 or newer) due to their strong hardware-based security features.

2. App compatibility: Most apps are compatible, but some may require alternatives. A sandboxed version of Google Play can be installed for popular apps.

3. User interface: Similar to standard Android, but with enhanced privacy controls and a decluttered, ad-free experience.

4. Regular updates: Frequent security updates are provided to protect against the latest threats.

5. Community support: A dedicated community of users and developers is available to offer help and tips.

6. Reversibility: It's possible to switch back to standard Android if you don't like GrapheneOS.

7. Privacy and security features: Includes end-to-end encryption, revocable permissions, randomized MAC addresses, and strict app data access controls.

For how long will the older pixel phones be supported? Is it worth it to buy a cheaper older model like pixel 6 and have graphene in it?

Cause I'm not giving more than 200-300 for a phone. I'll stick to cheap android phones that lack nothing compared to expensive phones for my needs.

I love graphene as much as the next guy, but this article is pretty terrible. Badly researched, just spitting out talking points that are either flat out wrong, not the point of graphene or just scratching the surface. Look up the graphene homepage, if you actually want useful info.
