Yes. It would be nice if the Americans got their shit together.
Meanwhile, what phone should my mother buy in a store?
Someone else already said it. Old style flip phone. Can text and make calls; can't serve ads or collect any more data than your contact list.
Yeah, but my mom can’t do banking on a flip phone.
This is the issue. Everything sucks. Don’t complain that people make a determination to take the least fucky normal option instead of flashing privacy ROM of the week onto an old Nokia N95. Be happy they thought about privacy it at all.
You can’t participate in normal society without a smartphone. There are two options for normal people. Pick the least shitty one.
You don't need a phone to do banking.
Don't be facetious. Granny has a landline for calling - this is about a phone as we mean it today; a smartphone if you insist. Or how else is granny going to operate Netflix or whatever other service is only convenient on phones where they are?
You don't need a phone for any of that.
Do you actually not know of any services that are only convenient with a smartphone or are you just being annoying?
