Curious what phones are more privacy-focused.

Right now, iPhone. Hardened with some advice taken from the book of Michael Bazzell.

Planing on moving towards Pixel with Graphene OS in the near future. I’m also using macOS and planing on moving towards Arch Linux. Used it for a long long time before when times where simpler and privacy was less difficult to achieve and I plan to go back.

A land line that I avoid using unless absolutely necessary. There is no such thing as a private cellular device.

Unfortunately most of the “privacy phones” really aren’t that great of a smartphone experience due to them running Linux which isn’t nearly as developed for smartphone use as Android or iOS.

I personally use a Samsung Fold 4, and run Firefox w/ add ons, DDG for search and app tracking protection.

Apple likes to boast about how iOS is more privacy focused than Android, though. Grain of salt.

Yeah I peeked at Linux phones and they just don’t seem to be handy for day-to-day usage. And I definitely do not trust Apple with my data haha

Fun fact: Android uses the Linux kernal. So they are also Linux phones.

Me too. We are losing support in August this year. I’m likely getting a 6a then which will be supported until July 2027.

I’m probably getting a new phone in October or November. Depends on when I have enough money.

I’m either getting the 6a or 7a. I guess the 7a is more powerful but also more expensive.
