Or, you know, don’t install a bunch of distracting apps on your device. Delete everything you don’t need.

But, IMHO, this is not really about not having a smartphone to avoid distractions or eschew tech; it’s about a trendy backward looking tech resurgence just like vinyl that’s not intended to replace modern options, but instead augment them with something cool, different, or for use in specific instances.

Hey, nothing at all against this trend; you do you. I love vinyl and use it to augment unlimited streaming music availability via my Alexa devices for what I like to call “intentional music listening”, but to say that the majority of those using TCL Flip 2s are doing so as some stick-it-to-the-tech-man option is ignoring the more likely reality.
