Literally writing from a folding phone right now. It's so much smaller than any other phone I have had and actually fits in my pockets, and something about the center of gravity is so much easier, it never falls out of my jacket pocket like my old phones used to.
Are you an Apple User? There is a Samsung phone with swappable batteries, and you'd have control over your files. Why are you using Apple products?
I am on Apple. I have control of my files using the Files app, built into iOS for years now.
I use iOS because I don’t use anything Google makes, or has a hand in, or benefits from. It’s a personal choice.
I would love more mobile options.
Have you looked into stuff like this:

Yeah, I know about most of the alternatives. It’s a cool project, but not really a viable option.
Really, my issue is with the current state of consumer electronics in general.
