The kids might be on to something. Gen Zers in the US are making old-style “dumb phones” a trend…and a sales success.
Flip phone sales were up last year for manufacturers like HMD Global, and Jose Briones, the moderator of the “r/dumbphones” subreddit says that some members of Gen Z are “tired of the screens.”
Of course, we’re still in 2023, so now there are plenty of “dumb phone” influencers on YouTube.
