There's no better kill switch than the ability to remove battery
Some would argue that phones dont work without power.
Exactly.
That kind of defeats the purpose, though.
Having your mic and camera disabled, but being connected to the internet kind of defeats the purpose aswell. It's better than nothing, but even with a device like that, powering it off doesn't gurantee that no one is tracking it. Taking off the battery does.
Not if youre being accurate about it
I don't believe you. Tim Cook told me so.
Except those still have power
Fairphone 5. Just got mine. Love it. I'm now waiting for the /e/ or, at least Lineage image to be released for it.
I went with the Galaxy XCover 6 Pro instead because it comes with a headphone jack. It also has a software switch to disable microphones, but I wouldn't put too much faith on that.
