Are you in EU? Because in America, that’s not the norm.
To clarify, they do provide devices for things you do on the job, like scanning inventory for example, but not for the stuff you do outside of the job, stuff like checking your pay statements, schedule, and to call in sick, that’s expected to be done on your own devices, because that’s technically not needed for the job itself, even though its practically needed as a prerequisite for getting that job in the first place (Because how are you gonna fill out your job application? They don’t even take paper applications anymore, its all done online. You’ll need a phone number and some companies require an email address as well).
If your phone breaks after you got the job, that’s fine, you probably won’t have any problems if you work at a warehouse or fastfood place, but just hope you don’t get sick and need that phone to call them (because “no call, no show” get you fired).
No, many jobs even trivial ones give you company phones so you can look stuff up, do inventory management etc

I meant on the job. So people need smartphone skills to get a job. That’s what I meant.
