It was only a matter of time before the people addicted to their smartphones decided to cure the addiction by going back in time to what they're calling dumbphones. Partly due to Gen Z's embracing all things retro the new/old dumbphones are like the cell phones from the 90s where there were no apps or internet only calls and texting. DumbWireless started offering the dumbphones in 2022 for $50-$300 and have seen sales steadily rising. For those who aren't sure if they are ready to give up their smartphones they often switch a SIM card back and forth between a dumbphone and a smartphone. If nothing else it gives parents a way to get their children a cell phone without the smartphone pitfalls.
