There’s a crack in the iPhone foundation and it could get a lot worse

You could just get a cell phone that you can turn off. I think they still make them, but get them while you can. Eventually that won't work, because your car will be able to observe you just as easily probably.

I have an old razor flip phone I might start using again. That and an iPod touch with no cellular.

This is here to stay. Time to adapt to it.

Can’t you “turn off” anything by just sticking it in a Faraday cage to block it from phoning home?

You can block the signal, but since the new scanner is now on the device itself, it can still snoop and phone home later. I want a phone that I can use as a phone still but be able to control when it does stuff and what stuff it does. I don't need a portable computer if it's just gonna spy on me all the time.
