Ooh, that's a bit strong..! What's wrong with old phones, anyway..?


For a 'dumbphone', not a lot.

Using a smartphone once it no longer receives security patches isn't
something I would do personally.


What's the main threat you are trying to avoid?


Mostly some malware getting installed via a remote or drive-by
vulnerability. There are undoubtedly other unpatched vulnerabilities in
my smartphone but I'd rather have protection from the known ones. I also
don't run Windows Vista anymore.
