    My phone stays in do not disturb mode. I have several people as breakthrough exceptions, but my phone stays on vibrate so even they don’t get full ringers. Notifications for everything but calls and texts are turned off.

    I am not hiding anything other than myself from having to deal with humans

    I just don’t like being bothered, I use my phone when I want to use it, not the other way around.

    Also, you should definitely lock your phone regardless.

    You joke, but you’re not getting my grandma’s stuffed pepper recipe until we celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary.

  • Can we talk about how stupid modern iPhones are? I can’t place it face down because the screen gets scratched. I can’t place it on its back because a camera lens is the resting point. To completely alleviate these concerns, I have to buy a phone case that costs half of the purchase price of the phone? I’m swapping to android for other reasons, but I will not miss the apple ecosystem for their design philosophy slowly becoming a fat load of garbage

      You’re either paying way too much for your cases or need to hook me up with your phone guy…

        People selling cases make bank right after a phone is released. Cases are few and far between, and expensive to boot. Older phones have plenty of car options all for fractions of the prices. If you absolutely must buy a new phone, look for the case online.

      They’re designed to have a case now

      I don’t like it, but that’s why. You’re simply not supposed to use them without a case.

      I will say though, I don’t know where you’re getting your cases from, but I swear by the Spigen ones, they’re usually £10-20 and I have bought one the day I buy a new phone for probably the past 10 years or so.

      I’ve not smashed a screen since I started, I used to have to talk to insurance once a year before. That £15 every couple of years has saved me hundreds of pounds in insurance excess fees.

      I don’t even use a screen protector

        yeah, i only got a fancier-than-spigen case on this one because i wanted a better handle/stand for the phone, and my spigen ones i got just had cheap thin plastic for a kickstand that kept breaking. also my phone now has a slider that goes over the camera and that i think is pretty slick, and these racing stripes add wind resistance.

        but spigens work pretty good

        What? Are you genuinely saying that the Apple 1 and, slightly more topical, the original iPhone were bad devices? Because I can’t disagree with you any harder than I currently am.
