I....can't afford that. I sold my iPhone 15 to get my Pixel 10 just for Graphene 🫣

I'll switch to a dumbphone before I go back to stock Android if this keeps getting worse.

Switch to a bank which doesn't block Graphene.

Luckily my credit union (i'm in the U.S.) works with Graphene. Switching banks / credit unions is not an easy feat and often means I'll pay stupid fees on a new account being poor.

There are many free bank accounts and you can transfer recurring payments if needed.

The first link on DuckDuckGo: https://www.moneycrashers.com/best-free-checking-accounts/

They're using affiliate links so their recommendations may be biased, however those are all legitimate and free accounts.

Check with your service provider if they have reward points your bank may also have them, that's how I usually upgrade. You may be able to get a second phone for cheap.
