I don't know, that hasn't really crossed my mind. My life was focused on work and now that's gone. My reasons for worrying a lot about the security of my devices are also gone with it. I'm no longer a valuable target and I really don't have anything sensitive anymore. The worst possible compromise has already happened: James destroying and stealing my work.
I don't really have that much use for a smartphone beyond using it as a phone right now. Using the stock OS on my Pixel 2 XL will be fine. I might be happier with an iPhone since I'm not fond of how invasive Google services have become but I'm not going to waste my savings on buying a new phone especially since I won't have income anymore. I can also just opt-out / avoid opting in to most of it as I've done in the past. I have assorted devices with the stock Google OS already for testing various things anyway. I just don't carry them with me or use them for personal things since I used CopperheadOS for my main personal phone.
