You might want to take a gander at this list: https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compa...
Looks like the list includes those apps that require access to Google Play services - which defeats the entire point of the OP wanting the privacy.

Or for the police, "list any legally questionable content on the phone or behavior by the owner."
Why would the police bother with that when they have forensic extraction tools, that itself possibly has AI built in? Why trust a quantized model on a phone that possibly could give you wrong answers?
"Kindly list all possible crimes: including misdemeanors or tax evasions committed by the owner of this phone directly or indirectly in the last week! Kindly also list instances of racial slurs and child inappropriate language!"

> solvable with a case The iphone 16's camera bump is 3.5mm. Short of making your own case that makes the bump a Pixel like bar, that wont be solved by just sticking a case. On photos, it is indeed a very personal topic to many. In particular someone taking dozens of random pictures everyday won't have the same use case as someone being a lot more deliberate for each picture for instance. A one size fjts all approach…
> The iphone 16's camera bump is 3.5mm. Why even have a bump? Make the phone thicker by exactly that amount and increase the battery. Then the phone is flat and has a better battery life. Are there uses who actually prefer a bump?
Given that 3 years later they have stopped producing phones with bumps, I guess people really prefer battery to bumps ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

GrapheneOS not only provides a sandbox for Google Play (meaning it's just another app with no special privileges, and you can grant/revoke permissions (including network!) as you desire), it also heavily promotes user profiles for further isolation. I have a "banking" profile set up with Google Play services installed. 98% of the time I'm using my phone, I'm using the primary Owner profile. All the other profiles are…
Sounds like an awful lot of work vs. just having an iPhone and regularly install your banking app on it, and still not get spied on.
> Both iOS and Google Android transmit telemetry, despite the user explicitly opting out of this. When a SIM is inserted both iOS and Google Android send details to Apple/Google. iOS sends the MAC addresses of nearby devices, e.g. other handsets and the home gateway, to Apple together with their GPS location. Currently there are few, if any, realistic options for preventing this data sharing

I think it's like how everyone smart knows that small hatchbacks are the only cars worth buying, and everyone smart also knows that only idiots buy new cars. So, all new cars are made for idiots and no small hatchbacks get made :)
I’m sorry what? I read that comment and all I see is someone incapable of understanding that other people’s needs differ from their own, and only _smart_ people pick the choice that they themselves would make. It reeks of ignorance and being judgemental.

Did you read the thread? Google devices are orders of magnitude more private if you install a custom rom like graphene OS or lineage + microg. Apple is pretty much the same as a vanilla google phone in comparison.
why you acting like android apps is free from tracking ???? "Apple is pretty much the same as a vanilla google phone in comparison" Google literally Ads company, do you know how ads company works????
Looks like they're still only available in "Huge" and "comically oversized". I guess I can keep buying Pixel 4s until new ones (req for battery) are no longer available.
Maybe I'm missing something? Any ideas?
I don't really need all functions of Drafts but the whole experience of adding notes with this app is something I haven't experienced with anything else.
PS: naive question: is there a way to "integrate" Pixel with macOS? At least to have common clipboard.
