   I did a radical thing when I finally upgraded from a really old iPhone 8 to a newer one: I didn't hardly install any apps on the new one. Mostly, I just wanted a fresh start, and it definitely was an adjustment b/c I had several time-waster games on there that were my go-to when I had some downtime. But after about two weeks of reflexively reaching for the phone to play some mindless game, I seem to have broken the habit and am finding that I'm happier and more productive without them. YMMV.

     @briankrebs Why do you allow apple to spy on you?
     
     >Apple's system in lockdown mode stops all kinds of shenanigans. Phones are designed to be tracking devices. I feel better about my ability to avoid those pitfalls on an iPhone than I do in Google's ecosystem.
     Lockdown mode stops 0% of apples shenanigans.
     
     All proprietary stuff is a joke security wise and can and will get cracked if there is anyone who wants to do so.
     
     You want a free software SIP client really, that you keep updated and SELinux'd, as good luck cracking that.
