Big oof on the iphone, mate. You can have an android phone with CFW that doesn't have all of the google telemetry and bloatware.

Seems like a lot of work to have a phone that just works and is easy

What works on iPhone though? You can't even change your ringtone to your own sound without having to draw your wallet.

Just stick with bloatware android then

That's not true at all. GarageBand will let you make tones directly on the device if you want to.

That said, yeah, get a grapheneos device and cut google out completely, it works just fine.

I haven’t remotely cared about a custom ringtone in about 14 years.

This is entirely and completely false.
