You can still buy a brand new Toyota Land Cruiser J70 in 2021. Even though it will be newer than the iPhone 12, it won't spy on you -- because it was designed in 1984.
Unfortunately, only in Australia and parts of Africa and a few other select markets.
I've been trying to buy a new J70, but AFAICT you can't buy a new one in the EU or US, and it's practically impossible to import one either. I'd be very happy to be corrected.
The 25 year rule sucks
Mechanical design of original platform does NOT limit the OEMs ability to install telecommunications modules and other upgraded electronic.
You mean older?
A 2011 Versa is younger than the iPhone which launched in 2007.
