Typically these fun number dates aren't set aside for things being discontinued...
I'm gonna miss my iPhone 5s.
They really were the last ones without the planned obsolescence installed on the OS.
I didn't use it much, pretty much only for calls and map directions, but it always seemed to work when I needed it to.
Screw Apple, screw 5G, and screw telephone carriers.

Goodbye, sweet prince... plays taps
Any recommendations for something to replace it?
I don't want Apple or Android... So that doesn't leave me with many options, huh?
Check out Rob Braxman on Youtube. He has a ton of tutorials on internet and phone privacy topics, degoogled phones and the likes. Extremely informative and useful.
There is the Freedom Phone but I don't know much about it.
I've heard about that, but first glance it seems like a honeypot.
Yeah I don't know for sure but worth checking out reviews.
Linux based OS. They have a few, i forgot the names
Can you root it and install a custom ROM like Lineage os?
I've never done it before, and I think it is a joint OS and carrier problem.
They just won't support 3G anymore, so I doubt anything I do to it will give me the ability to make calls.
My phone's still hanging in there but I've been looking at something like the Wise Phone or the Light Phone. Using phones for endless browsing and gaming and all that is a massive waste of time and causes all sorts of mental issues, anxiety, you name it. Heard from people that these other type of phones give you the navigation and messaging but without any of the extra stuff. Just don't know how secure they are since it looks like they're still based on a custom Android image.
