    You would be surprised. Most modern “dumb phones” run KaiOS which has an App Store.

    I found the app selection on KaiOS to be disappointingly limited because they broke compatibility not long ago with older OS version, dropping a bunch of app support. But, it depends on what the user needs. I tried it and it wasn't for me.

    yeah, these flip phone people sound very dumb to me. you don't like google so you're just gonna hand over all your data and conversations by using unencrypted SMS and phone calls instead? 🤦‍♀️

    Modern flip phones can often tether.

    carry... TWO devices?! Like some kind of insane asshole!?

    I mean, yeah.

    Why would I carry one device that does everything and one device that does less and isn't really more private, doesn't make much sense.

    Because Android is ran by a capitalist corporation that spies on you 24/7 and seeks to restrict and control their platform.

    If I could make it convenient, I'd carry a flip phone and a laptop. I trust both far more than Google, and slightly more than GrapheneOS.

    Downvote all you like. I'm not telling any of you to do anything. You want security? Toss your phone out of a moving car and get a notebook.
