They weren’t entirely wrong. The numbers don’t lie. They just don’t say what the author claims it does.

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 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.

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

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