Judging by ads for cell phone service, most people pay more than that per month to be monitored by the Feds.

I wouldn't be surprised if they could. Probably not while it's in your pocket though. They're packed with sensors that can pick up a lot. Just putting a phone on a table with a keyboard on it is enough for it to be able read your keystrokes. They can certainly tell when you're doing something that should be raising your heart rate.

As has been noted on HN several times, there are cars that monitor when you have sex in them. You might be surprised what is known and by whom.

There is no proof they actually have that capability, it is just mentioned in their privacy policy.

I'm not sure what to search to find the stories you're referring to, but the obvious ones didn't cut it.. at the expense of my browser history.

Can you share some links?

		That sounds more like "legal asked for list of everything we collect, and anything we could collect by accident or inference" - and it leading to hilarious results - which I have seen firsthand before. We own a Kia. I'd offer to do a GDPR data request, but my data would not give us any useful signal here lol.

Judging by various leaks over the years, you get it for free anyway.
