@julian Is LineageOS the OS designed to be paired with dedicated phone hardware sporting physical switches to disable Bluetooth, camera, mic etc. or is I thinking of a different one?
Is there nothing to be said for a nice new shiny iPhone?

@phenomlab Yep that's a biggie. Nokia 6310i super call quality (the best) 14 day or more battery.

So much is being "digitalized" that the plan is having it so you are not able to function in :society" without one, is it that time we harken back to more so than the device, but the device is synonymous of before it all went really whoosh... these are the deeper questions.

Definitely different one - Lineage is the successor to CyanogenMod, essentially a FOSS android whose primary feature nowadays (there are some other small additions to Android, but from my understanding it's a fairly bloat-free rom) is being available for everything with updates for a long time - if not officially, someone in the community will port it anyway. People have got LineageOS based on Android 13 onto Galaxy S III. A phone from 2012, when Samsung was still using roman numerals (it's apparently a bit buggy, but it's an 11 years old phone ffs).
You might've been thinking about Librem 5 which isn't Android based at all.
For a better privacy focused phone though you might be interested in buying a phone from... Google, surprisingly. And then nuking their default Android for GrapheneOS, which is just that - Android tweaked to provide as much privacy and security as they could without compromising the user experience too much. They're only supporting Pixels because they're the only phones that have good enough hardware security for their requirements.

@oplik0 Ah yes, bot begin with "L" and thank you , Librem 5 that it's, and I see they have a whole range of kit, like laptops
With an Intel processor you get years of coreboot development and a disabled Intel Management engine...
