How much would it cost to create the equivalent of a first generation iPhone 8 with more storage space in America?
That phone had everything necessary for communication, navigation, and even some basic photography and entertainment.
Imagine a whole industry of distraction free dumb phones being built, by economic necessity right here in America, that then result in lower rates of addiction and better mental health.

- croisillon 2y agomy bank doesn’t support iphone 7 anymore so i guess it’s getting closer to a dumbphone, and not doomscrolling my bank account is definitely a plus for my health
