    Wait, I’m using iPhone 11. Is there a big difference in picture quality like VHS to 4K with newer iPhones?

      Many say it is. Say the difference in display from the IPhone 11 to iPhone 12 is pretty drastic.

    You still use your iPhone and nothing will change that

    Her generation will never know what it’s like to not be attached to a electronic device.

    I have never owned a smartphone. I do not plan to own one any time soon. I am no junkie.
    I still have and use a brain.

    It’s interesting because halfway through this I realized some of these challenges are only issues for city people. I’d be interested to hear a similar review from someone who lived in a more rural/suburban area

    Lol I have had this phone for a while, but I got it for $30 thru tracfone. It’s funny I have never been happier since I put down my smart cellular device for this one, and now it’s an internet “challenge “ 😅

    Great presentation. I’ve seen other bloggers talk about their life with flip phones and it’s nice to get a different point of view. Great presentation.

    Smartphones are not the problem, it is us surrendering to social media. I don’t have any social media apps on my phone other than WhatsApp just to get free international calling.

    You can survive a week without a phone I’m pretty sure.

    This is the most Gen Z thing I’ve ever watched. You had access to most of the apps you would use on your iPhone?

    Ummmm no thank you to a early 2000’s era type of phone. If you are addicted to social media apps etc…well there are better ways to handle it.

    Very true n the world needs to stop living on the Internet 24 ×7 and while away their time n energy. Also stop wasting money by keeping on buying cell phones all the while upgrading which is a good way for the mobile business booming. BTW which Nokia smart phone wud be a good choice similar use a s the flip; though I hv jus taken up a moto edge 40 neo

    This video just validated my thesis on Creators, which was directly correlated to the thesis of the video. However, the content and elements are relevant.

    “iPhone….my iPhone… unlike my iPhone…miss my iPhone….”, mentioned way too many times, it’s like an iPhone ad 😏
    Also, you don’t detox in just one week
