I started this "Ask HN" on the topic a year ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33197291

People made some interesting points. I still have my head in the sand, and I plan to reevaluate again next fall. Note that I'm an unusually light user of my phone, I'm a nobody, and I don't travel internationally. I'd make different decisions if my phone were the center of my digital life or I felt like I might be targeted.

Very interesting thread, thank you!

I think I'm going to adopt the same strategy as you, since apparently nobody can actually show any meaningful proof of widespread hacks happening..

I must also say that if I feared being a specific hackers' target, I would probably make many different choices in how I use computers/the web, other than upgrading my phone :)
