I hate phones. Period. I have an old flip-phone for emergencies..

4. Just one data point.

I hope my iphone 8 lasts forever. Focus is your personal responsibility. I use:

• Safari (99% for catching up with DU)
• Photos and camera ( some of my nicest photos are with this device). And I upload photos for DU.
• Weather app. Given 100 degree weather for weeks and no end in sight, I plan to move near the ocean so I can delete the weather app entirely.
• Mail, mostly from myself, with links to photos on imgbb, bc DU doesn't do uploads of photos.

• I message family only. Same for phone calls. Roughly 5 a week.

That is 99.99% of it.
I am nearsighted, so I take off my glasses and the screen is easy to read at 4-6 inches away.

I have hundreds of apps ( cuz I made a living with computers) and 236 pending app updates but I just ignore them all.

No FB, no twitter.

It's actually OK.
YMMV!
