We can’t test it properly after it is done. And unless we can peek and change (which is what open source provides) we can’t ever.

I think the only dependable way forward is by separating the RF/modem parts from the rest, through a standard (e.g. WiFi or Bluetooth) protocol.

I already assume anything I do on my phone is compromised. And I would assume the same about my laptop, if I connectsd it to an untrusted hardwares and unfirewalled networks. With the laptop, I have an option; with the phone, I don’t.

I would gladly move to a dumb phone (for POTS) and an LTE access point, and a smart open source phone that uses it for connectivity, if such a thing were remotely practical. I already carry two phones for security and compartmentalizations.
