Yes.
As appealing as going completely off-grid is in an idealistic kind of way, I still have to function in modern sOcIeTy, which requires me to make some compromises. If you know of any quality phones that aren’t controlled by any big tech companies, let me know.
I’ve heard of the Fairphone, unfortunately it’s not sold in the US.
Order one from Canada? Not sure. And of the big tech companies that control phones, Apple is by far the best (at privacy at least, repairability is on the other end of the scale), I wouldn’t touch anything made by Google or Samsung with a ten foot pole. Maybe an old windows phone? Nokia?
On that note though, I have a friend who literally doesn’t own a smart phone. He has a flip phone (a new one too, no clue where he bought it) and he seems to get along in society just fine. Idk. Definitely not for everyone.
