Is there a smartphone that I could recommend to someone that currently wants to buy a last generation iphone? They want lots of storage and good battery life I think.
I am worried about all the tracking shit, I guess if the phone could potentially work with lineageOS that would be great too.
tl;dl is there a go-to smartphone atm?
Fairphone 4 will soon have CalyxOS support. I won’t recommend LineageOS because it’s unsecure but here are some device I would recommend buying first or second hand that can run (or soon) secure and private ROM (DivestOS, CalyxOS and GrapheneOS):
All should have decent battery life if they really want something high end like iPhone 13 :
Oh? What’s the security issue with LineageOS?
It does not allow you to relock the bootloader
But if the device no longer recieve security update and no customROM allow relocking the bootloader, you don’t do that much sacrifices. I won’t use anything related to banking, crypto or money in general on those unlocked devices.
Thank you
