@btp I genuinely dont get these gimmicks. You can already lock down your normal phone to achieve this and generally I dont think this is an effective approach to handling phone addiction and there are no evidence that supports this.

@wraptile The idea is that it removes a lot of what makes a phone addicting.

@golemwire but you can do all of that with software on any android phone.

@wraptile Well the idea is that it *removes* a lot of what makes a phone addicting, not just locks down. But I get the argument.
To me it's more of a personal thing, since while I can put in the energy to not be on the phone too much, the idea of the phone just *not being able to* do the addicting things would spare me the energy.
Really just depends on the person, and there's nothing inherently wrong with either way. There's a reason why these phones sell and a reason why they don't sell a lot.
