Easy.

It runs smoother (or at least more consistently) on my old iPhone 11 Pro that I’ve been using for testing than iOS 26 did on an iPhone 17, to the point where I was seriously considering going back to the older phone.

Feels like Apple assigned someone to work on optimization for the first time in years.

Jolla now sells hardware with (would recommend that), it can also be bought and installed on select phone (some Sony Xperias), and there is a community edition.
(my daily driver is a Xperia 10iii).

Tiny tablet combo: that's the way several Linux phone are setup - the phone part is an isolated USB modem.

(am typing this reply literally on such tiny tablet: a PinePhone Pro running a community edition of SailfishOS)

Capitalism is for the rich, not consumers.

We really can't take being told to buy a new phone every year when phones are starting to cost as much as used cars.

I would personally take the iPhone 5 or even the original iPhone. You know answer the phone provide a contact list maybe be able to read email. That’s it that’s all I want a phone for and realistically I don’t even need the email.

I look back at my old Instagram photos that I downloaded (before I kicked that app to the curb) and I can clearly see the best photos were from my Samsung Note 3. It was also a very good phone.
