I've gone through this thought exercise a lot myself, even considering replacing my iPhone with a flip phone. For me personally, the issue is the time-sucking nature of the apps and services that were on my phone. To solve this, I deleted any apps with infinitely scrolling content, leaving my phone to include only utilitarian functionality, maps, and tools for music creation. Because I know myself and my vices, I went so far as to add Facebook, Instagram, and Reddit to the "Restricted Content" list. I bookmarked text.npr.org and mprnews.org and use those as my quick, bullshit-free gateway to local and national news. With my phone in utility mode, I no longer experience false vibrations or that feeling of a phone burning a hole in my pocket. Finally, I joined a meditation center and attend weekly. My relationship with my phone is improved. It's great. Always looking for more suggestions.
