a $2000 phone in 2023 that software-wise is light years behind the first iPhone in 2007

  Could iPhone from 2007 run any software from GNU/Lunux repositories, connect to screen/keyboard turning into desktop, run without proprietary drivers and offer lifetime security updates?

    If your phone's only redeeming feature is that it runs desktop programs (badly) maybe you should reconsider its utility as a phone

      Why should I? It works fine as a phone and runs apps that I need sufficiently well (and is quickly getting even better). No other phone can do that. Example: desktop Firefox with all plugins. Yes, it scales to the small screen just fine. Can your 'smart'-phone do that? If not, maybe you should reconsider its utility as a smartphone.
