    It’s directly in the headline: Gen Z is ditching the iPhone. That’s incorrect in two ways: A) it’s at best one in fifty people buying aforementioned feature phones and B) they don’t even know if all buyers replace their existing phone or buy it as an additional handset.

      I had a biz partner who is a centimillionaire. He has an iPhone for data, and a flip-phone for calls.

      I have both a smartphone and a flip phone.

      I kept both because the flip phone lets me make phone calls from my basement and many other places that the smartphone cannot.

      I have never met anyone else with this setup.

        the flip phone lets me make phone calls from my basement and many other places that the smartphone cannot.

        Why? The smartphone supports everything the flip phone does. Honest question.

            Doesn’t seem very likely to me given that cheap feature phones likely use cheap older parts while flagship smartphones state of the art components.
