I Survived a Week with a Flip Phone in 2024, But Don't Think I Can Ditch My iPhone for Good
-
Recently replaced an iPhone 15 with a Nokia 2780 flip phone for a week to see if I could survive with a basic phone in 2024.
-
The Nokia 2780 had newer features like YouTube and Google Maps, but texting was cumbersome, the camera and video quality were basic, and web browsing was limited.
-
Calling and battery life were excellent on the Nokia flip phone. I appreciated being more present with friends.
-
Felt anxious without constant access to apps and information on my smartphone. Realized how attached I've become to my iPhone.
-
Liked spending less time and money on my phone with the flip phone, but the anxiety means I probably won't permanently ditch my iPhone.
