The launch follows a familiar script.
Dumb Co’s flip phone is a blast from the past with a modern twist. It’s a phone that’s not really a phone, but a satellite device for your real phone. Because what’s more innovative than a phone that can’t even browse the internet? The device is available for purchase now, because who needs a smartwatch when you can have a dumb phone? The company’s website claims it’s “the perfect solution for those who want to disconnect from the digital world,” which is just a nice way of saying it’s a phone for people who can’t afford a smartwatch.
