What's the issue to switch to dumb phones? Tracking SIM cards? Cookie and other web tracking by big tech? The smart phone as a spying device? Can't be SIM tracking, as dumb phones would have that issue too. I guess the latter is easily resolved by using GrapheneOS, and I imagine the second one by a having good privacy setup. Any other reasons?
I'm just wondering, as I was imagining switching to a dumb phone. I wouldn't be opposed, and I don't think I'd miss much, mainly email and lemmy. However, I would love to no longer have an easy map at hand, and actually having to look for places, and asking for directions. As for a weather app... I could just ask for the weather forecast when I'm asking for directions ;)
Some people are dealing with their smartphone addiction by going Dumb Phone.
Ahhh I hadn't considered that. It's a good reason to switch.
