Personally I keep two phones. I keep a very old Android phone that I like to use, then a new iPhone that I keep "normal". I use the Android phone for as much as possible, but bank apps don't work any more and many apps dropped support for my version years ago. In these cases, when required, I drop down to the iPhone and pretend to be a "normal" user; I install all my updates, use the stock browser, sign into all the cloud crap, pick the easy sign-in options to everything. The most expected, everage user that everybody is catering towards.

Using the iPhone sucks, but owning it lets me mostly use the Android phone I actually like, while still being able to do everything I would otherwise be arbitrarily restricted from doing.
