    I have a Samsung S23, and it is going to be the first time my phone WON’T either be destroyed or stolen before it is fully paid off. I won’t be getting another phone until something like Cape phone is fully functional in my area and I can have a GrapheneOS compatiable device. I will not be allowing any more bullshit be spying on me more than I need to (which ideally should be zero, but that is basically impossible).

      It’s the same trend as desktops then laptops then phones then now on small smartwatches, they get good enough and standardized enough that they didn’t really change much anymore. And the mature technology means that as long as the old one works people won’t upgrade it until it breaks.

        For me personally the last three phones I got were destroyed, stolen, destroyed… in that order. Ironically I didn’t armor up the last two phones due to the fact that the first phone was cased pretty strongly and was broken BECAUSE of that .

        However it seems that my current phone is armored up and it is lasting well. Btw my previous phone was a Motorola G5 Power. Meaning it was grapheneOS compatible… Just my rotten luck.
