I wouldn't accept a work phone unless I was given full control over it and can use it for personal use as well.
I'm not carrying two around.
If you want me to leave one at my desk that's fine but you won't reach me on it unless I'm there.
Same goes for work laptops and working from home.
The whole idea that you need to separate work from personal is based on the idea that if you use work laptop for personal work then they own it, that's an entirely made up constraint, one I won't accept.
In before bad analogies, there are plenty of industries that provide tradies with tool stipends, those are still owned by the tradesman but paid for by the employer do to their consumable nature. It allows tradies to buy more expensive tools if they prefer and encourages them to look after them better.
