alt Hacker NewsHaving two phones is more common than you think, and has a very plausible explanation even if it's not true for the particular individual: One is my work phone, issued by my company, other one is mine
That happens all the time

Separation of church and state goes way back, maybe before the iphone.

I feel like BYOD was when the disease accelerated. It was the coup excuse for everybody and their mother to own a piece of your personal phone. Bank apps not working with rooted phones is pretty much BYOD 2.0.

Unless you’re clever about setting up the phones to match your excuse, you are now lying to the police as well.

Many professional service firms do not allow BYOD. Depending on your job, you may end up with per-mandate phones.
I once had to take four phones with me for a short while and ended up looking like an absolute clown, stacking them on the restaurant table.
Not having to do that is a privilege.
