I abandoned my iPhone 15 Pro Max and spent a full week with the Nokia 2780 Flip to see if I could survive, and perhaps even thrive, with a feature phone in 2024.

No even on a flip phone I was still on Facebook web version a lot. It’s just not as instant which is good so we don’t spend as much time as we could be like on full smartphones. I would get on, post an update, maybe like a photo and end it. But I had mobile internet shortly before smartphones got really really Popular because data plans were so expensive even for basic phones

95% of this was: I spent a week using a $90 flip phone to complain it wasn't a $1200 iphone. People revert to "dumb phones" to stop being so dependent on smart phones and help them to cut screen time. IMHO

I feel like if you really want that nostalgia with modern technology, the flip phone should have best in class cameras with good navigation app, as well as the ability to be optimized for music applications. I think there is a market for these older style devices, but people won’t compromise on camera’s because in today’s smartphones, the camera is probably the most important feature!

I find it interesting "replying to texts faster" is in her list of pros. Mine would be spending less time texting, more on phone calls. Gen Z vs. Millennial differences for sure. I used to love the calls and voicemails I got from friends. Texts were meant to be quick ways to make plans, share brief updates, or tell people random stuff you intended to talk about later in a phone call.
