I would just use the two phones to keep things fully separate. Maybe get a pocket organizer that is capable of holding two phones comfortably in one pocket.

Better to ask for permission ahead of time to use both SIM in one phone if you prefer. That looks better on you overall. If they don't have documentation covering it yet they likely will want to form this for company growth.

My company offered to take over paying for my personal phone but then they would have control over what apps I have, blah, blah, blah, or they could provide me with a work phone. So I went with getting a 2nd (work) phone from them.

For the sake of transparency, I keep personal usage personal and the work stuff on the work phone only. A bit of a PITA but it's just safest.

I’m in exactly the same position and have gone with keeping my work and personal phone separate. Having work stuff on your personal phone leaves you open to error and it’s more difficult to switch off, even with focus modes. When I’ve had similar situations I’ve took the risk and just used the phone of choice (as I have a spare phone that tends to be a better spec and I prefer to use iOS for the automation) and have never been pulled up but, if your company are on top of their security accreditations then they might be checking for unauthorised devices. It’s sometimes reassuring to see if anyone else has been getting away with it.

I switched from a Note 10+ to an Iphone 14 pro. I like Android but I felt that new flagship Android phones were getting overpriced while not offering distinct changes from versions to versions (I do not care about foldable things). So I though “If I am going to pay for overpriced stuff lets do it right” so I switched to iPhone. I am so happy with it.

iMessage, long-term support, better overall quality. When I text someone and get a green bubble back I cringe because I know that communication with them is going to be difficult. Ever tried to do a group text and there’s that one person with Android that ruins it?

Some people just hate iPhones. My brother absolutely refuses to get an iPhone and insists on using shitty Motorolas, so I have to use Signal to message him-and even then video quality is highly degraded. When you ask these Android enthusiasts why they love that OS so much they’ll usually mumble something about “muh customization”. I still don’t get it.
