It isn't unusually to take a burner device to a foreign country
For people in this community, sure. Compared to the general population, not really. Imagine an international airport on a typical busy day. The number of people going through that aiport who are using burner phones is almost negligible.
My point is that they aren't going arrest you over it. Also they don't see what's on your phone nor do the randomly seal it. It isn't New Zealand quiet yet.
It wouldn't necessarily just be burner phones. Many people wouldn't want to take a valuable phone traveling in case it gets stolen. Or maybe their phone isn't compatible with the US's networks.
