I think there also may be a sorta “smartphone fatigue” that’s building up as well. People tired of having their privacy invaded, people frustrated at the modern smartphone ecosystem, people who just wanna be able to unplug from the internet and be to theirselves. I can honestly see a small movement building of people ditching smartphones for these older devices that have the same productivity apps, but without the distractions or privacy risks of the modern smartphone ecosystem.
I don’t know if you know the comic Ari Shaffir but awhile back he got rid of his smartphone and switched to a flip phone and then a lot of other people started doing it too for awhile.
And I think he still uses just a flip phone and he’s like entirely removed from social media - or last I heard anyway. He still has a manager who does stuff for him.
