This is why smartphone-free cafes and community spaces are a thing now and I like the idea. It only works for a limited time and if everyone around you also gives up their phone for a few hours though.
I see more and more (mostly younger) people with flip phones / dumb phones on my commute but that's a very inconvenient lifestyle choice - we are too dependent on apps for public transport, tickets, identification, 2FA, messenger, work/school schedules or even entrance to work or gym via Bluetooth key systems 🤔
