A flip phone (currently a Sonim XP3+, running Android 11 Go, location services disabled). Frequently turned off, often enough with the battery removed. And a laptop running Qubes that I carry in a backpack with a lot of offline capability should I think I need it (things like Organic Maps with a local set of maps, so I don't even need to jump online with it for basic "Where the heck am I?" sort of things - though I'm seriously considering a new standalone GPS nav unit for the vehicles that don't have one built in). If you're connected to the cell networks, fairly accurate location data is available to the carrier, and I believe the 5G upgrades improve over the air throughput on the lower bands (at least partially) by improving the location accuracy so time-of-flight issues can be reduced (if you're further from the tower than I am, you start transmitting before I finish, so your wavefront passes me as I finish transmitting, avoiding dead air). Though I'm really not sure of the details on this, I haven't delved deeply enough into the changes from 4G/LTE to 5G to be highly confident in this. In any case, "turned off, battery removed" is a good enough way to keep your information less-available to "literally everyone who wants it." As is "not having any apps installed." The book that just came out, "Means of Control" by Byron Tau[0], goes into some of the details of just how information flows around, with a focus on the flows from adtech companies to government, and the deceit used to make that seem like it's not happening. 0: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/706321/means-of-control-by-byron-tau/ https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/706321/means-of-con...
