6. I made that switch a long time ago.

Had to drop whatever carrier I had because their signal died 50 miles from my new home.

Iphones are good. Just don't add too many apps. I just got a new one and transferred zero apps over. Just download as needed. Very clean.

I got a call and couldn't find the phone, so I made it on the watch. Felt weird but it worked.

You may need just tor/onion on the phone, and vpn on the computer, plus secure messaging. Do not mix android text and iphone imessages. You lose encryption. But an app like Signal will run on everything (but your recipients need it as well. ). The time is right to demand so.

VPN will geolocate in some odd place (good) or bad, if your foreign IP address makes it impossible to buy or download stuff. Tor is a VPN in effect, but only for browsing. A good VPN secures all apps.
