Not Yet Available At Present: Perfect Phone For A Minimalist

The perfect minimalist’s phone is not yet available. For most of us, our phones are the first things we usually reach out for when we wake up. They are also the last things we look at before going to sleep. We often reach out for our phones, reflexively, for no reason at all.

Our phones do too much for us, to make our lives easier. They give us access to applications on the internet and may at times leave us distracted, overwhelmed, and maybe even depressed.

Some of us try to make some changes when it comes to using our phones. These changes are supposed to make them use their phones less often. But these phones are designed to keep us endlessly preoccupied and forever yearn for our next likes, comments, and posts. But if our behaviors cannot be changed, then maybe we can change our devices.
