I still don't have a phone yet, and I'm glad I don't because of the distractions and radioactivity https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38783888/

Also, I hate how smartphones are a necessity in todays world, you usually need them for verification, paying bills, etc.

Cool that you were able to do that.

There are definitely lots of things you need a smartphone for today, but fortunately few enough that it's practical to not have a smartphone with you most of the time, even if you own one.

Hopefully if enough people go phoneless, society will adapt to require smartphones less often.

Fortunately, so far, there is nothing that I need to do that I actually have to have a smartphone for. Hopefully that will remain true for a long while.

Hopefully. I still can't get around the fact that Apple implements AI in their phones. They're probably monitoring the information.
