Get a burner. Browse some boring content with it: few business websites, maybe some sports scores, maybe snap some photos of landscapes and dogs on the camera roll.
Then you have a functional phone and piece of mind. Making the phone feel “lived in” probably isn’t all that important, but I think it’d be easier to explain than a factory stock pay as you go phone.
It’s kind of crazy that that’s where we at. That you have to pretend to have a “normal” phone.
I don’t remember what it was, but i had a phone i think an oppo some time ago where you could set up a fake phone, depending on the fingerprint. So my right finger was my normal phone and my left finger was the burner phone. I never used it, but i found that pretty funny
I’ve had colleagues just play the “I don’t fucking care if you’re sending me back because my papers have a spelling mistake, this is just a business trip” method when US customs/immigration starts acting up. Not sure I’d have the balls to do that now that the US is sending people to KZ camp light for pretty much nothing.

You do not need to and should not explain anything. Don’t answer any questions.
