Cat S22 Flip Phone

The number #1 reason I buy a phone is TO PREVENT CERTAIN UPDATES.

I have been on the iPhone 6S+ since inception. But upgraded to the 7S+ only for the water proofing...

Its the only phone I like... but the 6S+ didnt have the facial survellience NSA option. Thus I held onto that for a long time.

Try an Android with LineageOS, it won't suddenly change underneath you unless you tell it to install a new version (full or point release, e.g. 18.1 -> 19). No surveillance, no planned obsolescence, no hassles. The source is there is you want to modify/build your own release. This also makes it possible to extend the life of the device even when LineageOS ceases support.

honestly nowadays I might even recommend graphene over lineage provided your device supports it. It's way better about security, privacy, anonymity and all that jazz

Graphene is simultaneously the easiest to install and most robust rom I have ever installed in my years of it. It is a gem.
