Over the last couple years, my love/hate relationship with tech has begun to veer more pronouncedly towards the 'hate' side. As much as I'd like to be someone who can take it or leave it, the dopamine dolloped out by the phone can be hard to resist. First I deleted social media, then I found myself staring at the web in general. Then I got rid of that, and I'd look at whatever was left – Photos, Notes... Settings?
Of course, the iPhone has settings ostensibly designed to help with this. But what use is Screen Time when you're free to disable it as you please? And there are even accessibility Settings that can 'dumb' your smartphone, but again – too easy to disable. No, I needed something else. I needed a dumbphone. And not just any dumbphone. The best dumbphone.
