That's why I like this phone that can do those things, but I really have to be sure I want to do them.
It's surprising how often I actually don't, though. Rarely am I going anywhere I actually don't know how to go. Rarely do I actually need to take a photo of something (though to be fair, I've never really been into photography; this would be different for people who are). I prefer quiet to music (although again, admittedly, I know I'm not the norm here). And not being able to search the answer to any old thing whenever I want? Turns out I forget most of those things by the time I get to a computer, so I guess they weren't terribly important. I make more of a point of trying to learn things now.
I don't distract myself as much as I used to. I feel like I'm actually more present when I'm present because I don't have anywhere else to be.
YMMV, but there's no perfect solution. Everything has tradeoffs. You just have to choose which set you care about most.

The idea of professional photographers using smartphone cameras is just pure marketing bullshit IMO. Smartphone cameras are severely limited by physics and always will be. As someone who used to be heavily into photography, my smartphone may as well have not even had a camera because if I wanted to go out and take pictures I would bring my DSLR.
- spopejoy 5y agoPlenty of photographers have admitted that phone cameras often are "the camera you have" when the great shot arises unexpectedly, at which point the unreasonable quality they offer given their constraints comes in handy. They are also excellent B-stock video cams in live settings etc.
