i ain't gonna lie I really hate phones. I want those mega chonkster late 1980s-90s phones that can just take calls and texts. if I can carry that and a designated device (not a phone) for my company's MFA app, I would be a much happier person.

no I'm not trying to sound like a boomer or anything, I genuinely hate how every piece of modern technology has such annoying inconveniences and I end up using like 3 features of a phone even though I bought the newest flagship.

like I have a Pixel 6, bought a Pixel 6 Pro but it killed itself beyond repair, a Pixel 5, an iPhone 12, had an iPhone XR, and have an Apple Watch SE. I stopped using my Apple Watch because it became useless overtime, I hate how Pixel 6 stock OS works and I don't want to run-

a janky custom OS or some insanely insecure trash, and I only listen to music on my iPhone and answer calls and texts. like why am I even bothering with flagship crap when I use like 4 basic features: listen to music, answer calls and texts, and browse the internet sometimes.

You're recommending a highly insecure OS missing the August and September Android security patches. Look at their announcements for those. They only shipped a subset of the open source patches. They're a month behind on Chromium security patches too. It's very harmful advice.

AOSP dropped standalone SIP support in the Dialer because it was unmaintained and there are better SIP implementations available elsewhere. It's really just another example of what I said above. Adding back problematic unmaintained code removed for a reason is itself a problem.

Carrier-based calls / texts on LTE and beyond and is based on SIP under the hood, so the carrier-based SIP is still there. What they removed is something you can get in a better form via standalone app that's actually maintained instead of adding back code that's not maintained.

Almost anything is better off than using a highly insecure OS months behind on security updates which misleads users about which patches are being provided and about what they provide with their OS in general. I don't think that makes sense for anyone. It's genuinely unsafe.
