true all the way down to the silicon really. Unless you are prepared to do you own lithography you are on an untrusted platform.
Of course this is true, but moving to a privacy respecting OS, like linux or buying a phone w a custom ROM installed goes a long, long way to improving the situation.
One easy way to start is not by doing it all at once. Start by avoiding the Playstore and using fdroid instead. On your main OS replace proprietary software with foss alternatives. Once you get comfortable with that, THEN you can make the next steps. It doesn't have to happen overnight, but you'll be heading in the right direction:)
