> People want 'dumbphones'. Will companies make them? Yes, they will. You just have to google "dumbphones" and you will come up with a number of options on the first page. If you go to Amazon, you will find even more, ranging from ~$25 to several hundred. I have even seen phones geared towards very niche communities, such as ultraorthodox Jews, where uber and waze are acceptable, but instagram and facebook are not, so the phones enforce this at a relatively low level (making it hard for a somewhat savvy teen to circumvent)... just Google "kosher phones". I have seen phones for the elderly, with oversized keys and a dedicated panic button. There's lots of existing stuff on the market, so this headline makes no sense.
