I don't have this problem. I can't stand and have never been able to stand browsing social media or the internet on smart phones. I have the latest iphone max, but I only use it for comms (phone, SMS, email, slack, discord, zoom if I'm on the go and really screwed) and taking pictures. I never have and never will "consume" on my phone unless I have absolutely no other choice of device to use (like if I were locked in an elevator with only my phone for several days). Mobile websites are terrible so when I do "consume" on my phone I inevitably check the "request desktop site" checkbox and do everything I can to avoid the site thinking I'm mobile, because once they know you're mobile 2/3rds of the features suddenly are unavailable typically. 99.99% of my media consumption, video watching, and web browsing is on my laptop or through various streaming devices like apple tv, etc. In the past I did play a few select mobile games that were quite good like Bloons TD, but I always gravitated towards the desktop version instead when it became available, and I find that these days there aren't any good games that aren't pay-to-win via microtransactions, at least none that come up when I poke around.

So for these reasons I've never understood how someone could find their phone addicting. It's an ad-displaying machine with terrble UX and limited functionality that can also do comms. I browse social media like Twitter, etc., on my laptop. I can't understand how anyone would ever want to do that on mobile.

My favorite phone I've ever owned was still my Lumia 1020 back in the golden days of windows phone. That phone embodied the two tasks I care about (comms and taking pictures), had a dark-mode UI way before that became popular, and generally just stayed out of the way and was performant.
