I won't be replacing my android phone either. But I'm also not going to the iPhone. I don't find anything in that ecosystem any more attractive than android.

Instead, I'll be forgoing a smartphone entirely. I've been keeping close track on my smartphone usage, and there is literally nothing I use it for that is actually necessary, so giving it up seems like an easy win.

How are you doing MFA, or don't you need it?
I use gnome authenticator on desktop/laptop. Quite happy with it though it does have a few annoying bugs, but quite usable
I only use one-time code stuff, and I don't need a smartphone to do that. Even if I expand to other MFA types, I can't think of one that actually requires a smartphone to perform. A smartphone is a convenience, yes, but not a necessity for me as near as I can tell.
