how would you ensure that this stays private? not just from facebook, but completely. as I see it, this would require some form of biometric authentication

~~I have not found an answer to this part:~~
I realized I just quoted the first 3 paragraphs of the post, so lets stay at the clarification. I haven't found the answer to OPs question.
And to clarify what I don't understand: each year flagship phone's performance don't seem to increase significantly. Regarding real world performance, not benchmarks.
That's why the question is why don't they keep the previous chipset until more meaningful gains. As OP suggested, they could either lower the price, or have more profit. Users would not feel the difference, and there's plenty of other things the manufacturer can improve or experiment with.
If the concern is that people would say "ah it's the same chipset!" and they wouldnt buy it, then the manufacturer could just replace that with another one that has roughly the same cost and performance.
they wanted answers about phone design practices, not cheaper phones.

how do you do that? are you just uploading the PDF?
the software that’s a bit bloated, but it’s (usually) removable (and you could always install a custom ROM)
except if your government and all available banks practically restrict you from replacing the ROM, because then their apps refuse to work. you often can't replace gov apps with the web browser because of the closed authentication system, and bank apps either because they routinely block mobile browsers, while the desktop view is unusable for most people
its like you are responding to a different question. you are speaking about cheap phones, while the question was about recent years flagship phones chipsets.
what is that so large difference between this years flagship chip, and yesteryears flagship chip? and the difference between yezteryears and the one before that?
is it really a large difference, like reviewers tell? it feels like comparing intel 12th gen and 13th gen CPUs and telling there is a large difference, the newer ones are so much better you need to get them IMMEDIATELY.
again, the question is not about developments over a decade. bluetooth and gyroscope has been common for a decade now even in cheap phones.
and I find it amazing how hard they are locking down our phones, like as if it was still owned by the manufacturer, rented by the user. google is doing the most of the work to enable countries to forcibly lock in citizens to malware infested systems of the factory. it couldn't have happened without something like play "protect"
but dozens a minute increase in the dawn hours?
oh of course, don't forget to always keep your safety flowers with yourself if you want to escape after being kidnapped
what I know though is that the device manufacturers are obligated by license to give you the kernel source code for the device on request, because linux is gpl.
but they are not obligated to provide you hardware drivers and device trees that are not included in the kernel. you may still ask in case they care, but it's probably rare they provide that. sometimes it's hard even to get their kernel source code.
I don't know. Haven't done this myself. I would look at the git history of devices currently supported. how they started out, what kind of changes they made, how did the maintainer obtain a file or figure out a config change, things like that. then maybe also contact the maintainer ofir that device, or the lineage mailing lists (or a more modern platform if they have one, but the more experienced folks are likely only reading the mailing lists)
the config and databases or the media, you mean?
if so, the former, but I mount the meadia with a read only docker volume just to be sure, because chances are I would never notice it

a heavy handed approach, but I don't see one that is not heavy handed, private, and effective enough.
slight modification: mobile phone is ok if it only has a small screen like on old feature phones, no capabilities for mobile data but only calls (that's probably a software limitation), and no social media apps (or any installable apps).
perhaps wifi capability with a weak antenna, or a wifi interface that only supports low speeds.
private communications is a question though, because phone calls and SMS are anything but private.
hey people, this could work!
and its not like we need to ban kids from the internet, but to only allow them with the active supervision of a parent.
