Reading Level

The rise of 'dumbphones' is a response to the negative effects of constant smartphone use. People are becoming more aware of the downsides of having the world at their fingertips and are seeking simpler alternatives. Dumbphones, which offer basic functions like calling, texting, and setting alarms, have become a popular choice for those looking to escape the always-on feeling of smartphones. They are also being used by concerned parents, seniors, and workers in tough industries who need rugged handsets. However, finding a dumbphone can be a challenge, as phone manufacturers have little economic incentive to offer these devices. Despite the demand for dumbphones, the majority of new phone sales are dominated by smartphones, leading to a lack of options for those seeking simpler alternatives.
