Hi Arelor,

A-Men.  These phones are just a pain and a crutch anyway, I would
love to go back to a world where they were not needed.

I normally use a 2020 iPhoneSE.  Works fine, runs all the apps etc.
But there is a bug in the way the hotspot works on iOs that makes me
frustrated when I'm in the woods and want to connect my laptop to the
world.   I solved the issue by buying a $70 andriod 11 flip phone. 
(Cat S22 Flip).  This thing is great for running as a hotspot.  But using
it for anything else is an excersize in frustration.  I LOVE IT!  Forces me
to "disconnect" as much as I want to.

That is a choice.  I looked up the price of a new pixel, wooooo they 
make Apple look cheap. ;)
