Fair take and I agree. Removable battery is a privacy feature, at least. With apps like Brave and Protonmail (which I am assuming will install to this), it seems like a big step towards a more privacy oriented device, even if not the ultimate solution. Can the CIA and AT&T still track me? Yeah, of course. But at least I am not funding the privacy violating business models of Big Tech and their ecosystem of apps. I am not elderly but I just use my phone for navigation, email, texting, and web browsing. I don’t need more than a couple of dozen apps on it.
