The Wall Street Journal recently profiled multiple users that have either switched back to a basic flip phone from a smartphone or never made the transition at all. One user, a 23-year-old content strategist living in New York City, splits time 50 / 50 between an iPhone and a flip phone.
With the flip phone, the user said there are “no work emails, no Instagram updates, nothing from Facebook, nothing from TikTok. Nothing from anyone except the people who are important to you.”
