Today I was thinking about if I should sell my iPhone and get a basic flip phone. I feel like I've had the same iPhone for 15 years or so. Apple been in cruise control. Their app stores are inflated with inaccurate star ratings and fake reviews. Ads everywhere. Nothing works properly anymore because every app needs you for something. Even if it's just logging in again and 2 factor authenticating.
Give me a phone that has maps, alarms, timers and can call/text. Getting away from technology never sounded so appealing.
Just delete the apps you don’t like?
Get a Fairphone 6 with Nura
Costs $650. Seems kind of expensive for how little it does.
Devices that only do what YOU want are now premium devices.
I don't want it take shit photos, it keeps doing it despite that. :D
Joke aside the FP6 has a decent cam. It's inconsistent indoors but it's decent overall.
