TL;DR: Out of iPhone, Pixel, Android, AOSP forks, and GrapheneOS, the answer is GrapheneOS by a country mile.
Actually good point, added a TLDW screenshot of the summary
GrapheneOS sometimes sacrifices privacy for security.
I had way more privacy related features and controls on a rooted LineageOS phone (which was obviously much less secure)
Please elaborate and/or [Citation needed].
This is incorrect. It strengthens both privacy and security in a lot of ways for an average user.

Which of these smart phones lets me have a headphone jack… ’cause that is how I will choose. I can patch software & be wary about how I use the device, but I can’t just add I/O to the hardware. Until the Pixel brings back the jack, it is dead to me.
I got a Nokia XR20 because of this. Also waterproof and rugged. A phone that needs a case to survive the hairless monkeys dropping it is a design failure and completely unacceptable.
Just wish I could use proper software with it.
None basically. There’s a Sony phone has LineageOS (including +microg variant) support, but it’s not ideal either.
And that is exactly what I am running—and without regret since the OEMs are screwing over users just to sell branded Bluetooth earbuds whose batteries will die & not be repairable in a year for you to buy another set. I will not participate in this.
Spoiler: It’s a banana phone.
I didn’t watch the video but I don’t think there is any phone that lets you avoid having your location tracked. If there is wifi near where you want to use the phone, you could run a voip client on on a wifi-only tablet, perhaps.
I’ve been wondering whether satellite communications gizmos with no GPS allow any type of precise location tracking from the satellite. I’ve been interested in this, which lets you exchange text messages at fairly low cost (about 2 cents per 50 byte unit). Besides possible privacy advantages, it also lets you communicate where there is cell coverage:
Added a TLDW summary to the post if you want to take a peek
Ok but wifi only isn’t really a phone?
Can you call on wifi? Yes (voip numbers like you said). I think that’s a phone.
Obviously you need to be connected
Then my laptop is a phone? It’s sort of a phone but it doesn’t connect to the phone network, so only sort of. Since it needs a wifi signal it’s not so mobile either.
Well technically there is: pixel + graphene os + airplane mode with wifi only, from the video
Usually I tend to avoid sarcastic responses, but since no one mentioned it, how about the game of Telephone?
A flame of xylophone?
I agree with this. However the very latest Pixels (with the stock ROM) might be a bit more invasive than the phones by an OEM like Motorola or Nokia.
