   I just don't like taking chances with apps that possibly could be fooled   
   into transferring out thousands of bucks to the other side of the world.

   I don't worry cause my sensitive apps now stay on my safe devices.

   My 2019 phone still works fine also, damn it. Just kidding. I actually   
   kinda still like it since I can work it. The new ones are way   
   more (scary) complicated...

   Sorry to hear that. That's quite a machine. I've been through a few   
   radioactive tests in bug tubes but nothing like that (yet, crosses fingers).

   When finally required I'll likely get a new phone from my local Verizon   
   store again since it's so easy (just walk in and walk out 30 minutes   
   later with the new toy, all apps transferred and set up). I'm fortunate   
   in that I'm fixed well enough that I don't have to worry about price. I   
   just point at the one I want...  ;)
