Is there a smartphone that I could recommend to someone that currently wants to buy a last generation iphone? They want lots of storage and good battery life I think.

I am worried about all the tracking shit, I guess if the phone could potentially work with lineageOS that would be great too.

tl;dl is there a go-to smartphone atm?

    Google Pixels have >1 day’s battery life and 64+GB of space. I have a Pixel 3a, but going for a Pixel 4 or higher will guarantee GrapheneOS and LineageOS will support it for years to come.

        There is no SD slot, that’s true. If someone wants to use one, Pixels are not the way to go.

        My recommendation of Pixels is in large part due to their support by multiple projects. If one doesn’t want to use GrapheneOS for any number of reasons, one may install CalyxOS or LineageOS instead.

        Looks like it was disabled in release 2022021314 with the following description:

        stop enforcing camera sound when using a carrier based in India/Japan/Korea since we aren’t required to enforce it and is trivially bypassed in multiple ways so it’s nothing more than an annoyance
