Hello HN:
My close friend and I had a conversation today about doomscrolling, and I think it finally kicked me into gear.
I’m an iOS developer for a living, and I am just oversaturated at this point from the entire smartphone experience. I’m tired of the constant feeds and notifications, and while I am aware I can turn them off and change certain settings, I am finally ready to just keep my iPhone as a device I develop for/on, like my MacBook; and find an alternative.
I am impressed by this ‘Punkt’ phone[0, and I like that it can still be used to tether, and supports Signal, even - but for the feature set it seems kind of expensive.
Can anyone here at HN, who I’m sure has been in a similar situation - offer some advice on models to pick? I’m ideally looking for something around $300-400.
