10. The phone, not the network, is where all of the power lies.

The ecosystem of the phone is what determines everything you can do and everything they can capture.

Speculation is that it will be an Android-based device running Android 15. That will give them a lot of latitude to develop their own required apps that do whatever they please in the background.

And one thing we do know: everything they do is a grift. User data is valuable, and you can bet they will be selling it to the government for way more than it would ordinarily be worth until that all ends with a new administration when they will sell it to corporations.
