I'm about to switch to an iphone (oddly been a cocoa/mac developer while being a android user for years), and have been a bit worried that it'll be a more distracting experience while watching friends more engaged with their phones than conversatin at dinner. This said, here's my tentative iphone-specific plan on managing myself from becoming addicted:
- Generally, don't keep social apps on the phone. Use the web versions with content blockers.
- Email: keep using gmail's importance filtering and set notifications only for 'important' messages - been doing this for years and it's mostly worked fine.
- Content blockers - find a safari content blocker that lets me block social sites at certain times, or write one myself.
- Keep using a smartwatch - I really like using my pebble to let me minimize phone use, ideally I can still do voice replies like I can on android.
