Attack surface reduction is the important part. I’m not in disagreement with what you said, but if you took a modern iPhone and removed all capabilities other than sending and receiving phone calls, it would be much more secure than one which supports mms, email, browsing, etc.
- kmeisthax 5y agoAre you sure having a phone in your phone is a good idea? Phone calls are a significant source of attacks now, even if none of those attacks exploit a vulnerability in the phone software. As far as I'm concerned, the only point in having a dial-able phone number is to ensure I'm still eligible for car warranty scams and 2FA code harvesting attacks.
