Is it time for a censorship-resistant mobile phone software. Many of the modern mobile phones use android or iOS ecosystem. Two big companies with huge marketshare. I use iOS ecosystem because I am a big fan of the user experience of iphone. The trade-off is that it is centralized and you do not have full control to implement the true developments of the app. As an example with the Damus zapping feature which wasnt added on iOS. Imagine a mobile phone ecosystem that could be downloaded that did not have an authority to unpublish apps built on it or collect data. More privacy and the ability to connect with other bitcoiners or any person who doesn't feel comfortable with data collection. The ability to build features with more freedom.

people are happy with their spy devices in their pockets. For the same reason as they will be happy using CBDCs with the same devices. They don't care about privacy.
for the rest of us, we have https://grapheneos.org
or maybe a Linux phone like pinephone pro https://www.pine64.org/pinephonepro/

Interesting. Centralized tools are seen as cool. Perhaps true privacy won't be achieved until the next few decades or longer.

Calyx os, graphene is are your best and only options now. Get a pixel phone, learn to flash it with either of the above and switch to fdroid for open, free and privacy respecting apps.
I know above may seem like a lot of work, but honestly learning HOW to be private is as important as having a private phone.
Learning to fish vs buying fish and all that.
Good luck buddy and welcome.

The only ways to truly eliminate attack vectors is to get a dumb phone. A GSM phone. There's nothing to exploit. For everything else you have operating systems like GrapheneOS.

Ah I see. GrapheneOS was mentioned above.
