One of the main draws of mobile apps is mobile deposits. So that might be a reason to keep around a regular phone for just that purpose.

That makes sense, I hadn't considered that since my jobs are always on direct deposit. I can see how the mobile deposit could be necessary for some people and potentially their business.
Thanks for your perspective!

I've thought of what I would do, and if I left Android because of this I think I'd get a Linux phone and just use my iPad for bank apps.

Since I stopped using gmail I don't really find myself needing Google account related services anymore or their apps. My main apps are all from F-Droid now and backing up with sync thing.
