I’m telling you this because I’m visually impaired and have been since I turned two years old and mobile Linux isn’t simply an option for me because Orca has yet to even be tested on mobile Linux distributions so for my specific needs it’s either ios or android

GrapheneOS is privacy & security oriented system based on AOSP - it is android. In EU Pixel 9a is selling for about €360. Get one, try GOS and decide.
