@arstechnica Raise your right hand and repeat after me .“I will only purchase products that are dumb and don’t need an app, internet or subscription to work.”

@diegopappalardo I keep looking at dumb phones as an option, but having a kid in a school that requires an app to communicate with teachers… and there is always something kinda lame a dumb phone can’t handle, like QR code menu at a restaurant… I’m personally unhappy with the predominant mobile user experience, but here we are and the only way we can vote is with our wallets.
