as soon as you’re out & about and need an uber, or maps-based navigation to another location, or to transfer money from one bank, or even to look up an important tidbit of information - the phone number of a local business, for example - you’ll yearn for the power of a normal phone.
the answer is not buying things - it’s changing your behavior. put your phone in another room. stop using it at night. purge harmful apps one by one. focus on changing your _behavior_ instead.
the lightphone is a heavy , worse supported, worse integrated, less featureful wrapper around android - do you really want to pay hundreds of dollars for that?
i have firsthand experience - i fell for the lightphone, and it’s sitting in a box next to me.
what actually worked for me was:
- setting my phone to greyscale
- disabling ALL notifications except phone calls
- charging my phone in a different room at night
