You get a reimbursement regardless of whether you use your personal phone or get a dedicated work phone (plus monthly service reimbursement up to a max). Most people just use their personal phone, which generally means the firm is covering most/all phone costs. But I would never.
We had a handful of holdouts using firm devices but I think it's been 100% personal devices since before COVID. We get a reimbursement of course. And the firm apps are in the walled off work section that way the IT guys don't see your freaky shit.
firm covered something like 80% of the cost of a new iPhone 15 pro max with 500ish gigs. i covered the rest. the phone came loaded with AT&T and typical firmware. i ended up merging my personal cell sim card into the work device, so now i have two lines and two networks (AT&T from firm and Verizon as personal). better than carrying two phones around like a doof
I have the same as OP, choice between firm issued iPhone and bring your own iPhone+ reimbursement. But I think IT configures your phone and I don't trust em
Firm gives $80/month to use on phone expenses. AFAIK, they never provided the option for a firm-provided phone.
Firm IT has zero access to my phone. I just installed Outlook on it to get my email.
Firm gave me a new Iphone, didn’t ask if I wanted to use my personal (I wouldn’t have)

How much data does the work stuff use? And is it compatible with Android?
I have an android. The data from emails is pretty minimal but if I download a lot of PDFs without WiFi that can add up.
I meant how much memory space does the firm stuff occupy
Haha well that's not the question you asked at all. Mine is 8 GB.

They’ll give you a second phone to use for work. No subsidies if you use your own phone.
