The real answer? Buy a phone older than the 15. You'll never get on-device intelligence. My 13 Mini takes great pictures, performs perfectly, has great battery life as a non-gamer. And it should get at least 3 more years of iOS updates (maybe more? phone specs have really leveled off).

Anything newer, Apple and Google will start pushing intelligence on you simply because your phone can do it.

You could try GrapheneOS as well on a recent Pixel.

I want my cake and to eat it too.

I want Linux phone, grapheneOS I thought still had Google integrations, I definitely don’t care for any of that.
