IME the battery isnā€™t the issue, especially if you get a phone with a big battery to begin with.

Itā€™s the lack of updates thatā€™s the issue which means you can no longer use certain critical apps (banking, government, etc.) on your phone.

The phone becomes obsolete before the battery ever dies.

You can always switch to some custom rom after you stop getting updates

Know any banking apps that work with a custom rom?

What about your national governments designing an identification or tax related app that works on a custom rom?

Good luck with that.

They donā€™t have to. Nobody designs their apps to work with specific ROMs, they design it to work with Android. Custom ROMs are still android ROMs, theyā€™re just managed by open source communities instead of phone OEMs.

Some banks have decent mobile sites. But it does suck to have to resort to that.

It wonā€™t turn out well having only a few companies acting as gatekeepers.

Magisk denylist has worked for me. There was one app that refused to cooperate but I got it working using Shelter

Your banking apps starts to only work on latest Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max+ and only on Verizon 5G network.

OH, Iā€™ll guess I have to switch, there is no other option for me.

Who cares, if I canā€™t use those apps even if it isnā€™t outdated but I just want to remove the ton of built-in data mining crap.
