I'd love to not carry a phone, but with MJ now legal in my state, and dang near every car going by streaming smoke out the windows, it's a safety must IMO. I've only got one phone and that's my Note8. It's big for sure, but it's all I've got!

I always keep my iPhone 6s Plus on me during rides (really can't risk being phoneless in an emergency). I have a reasonably sized topeak saddle bag for the phone, spare tire, etc. since I don't like weighing my jersey down with the phone.

Carry an Essential phone with me at all times in a Silca Phone Wallet. Theres plenty of room in it if I were to want a bigger phone (I don't), and it also allows me to conveniently store my money, keys, and cards. Best of all, the phone wallet is a perfect fit for any of my jersey pockets.
Used to use a Rapha Essentials, but it couldn't hold my Nexus 5 nor my Essential phone, so I had to swap that out. And while I did like it, the Silca is far more functional.

I kept my iPhone 7 going for years because it was the perfect cycling phone. Waterproof and fits in a Rapha Essentials case. It died last year though and I got an iPhone XS. At first I found it annoying that it didn't fit inside my Rapha case, but I now just have it in my central rear jersey pocket outside the case. It's more waterproof than the 7 and despite being rained and sweated on lots has been perfect.
It also takes sweet pictures for the 'gram.

The large version of the Rapha Essentials case is large enough for iphone XS max or other similar sized phones.
