Are the only phone options iOS or Android? I’m also considering leaving my iPhone behind because of this privacy violation but I’m definitely not moving to Google. That seems like two steps back.

Calyx is a degoogled Android ROM. It's probably the best choice until mobile Linux improves.

microG support mainly, it's needed for some Play Services APIs like push notifications and maps, though the choice all depends on what apps you use. GrapheneOS is great also and even better for those with very high security and privacy requirements.

Sailfish OS (built on Maemo/MeGo legacy, for those who remember those) is what I have been using for years (and this is typed from).

Also there are a lot of Linux distros targeting the PinePhone maturing by the day.

I’m considering the Nokia 8110 (banana phone)

KaiOS, somewhere between a smart phone and a dumb phone. Still has Google maps, not sure if you need a Google account tho.
