Woah! You were texting whilst driving?!

I'm curious about the mom's screen time metrics, and whether she considered giving up her own iPhone.

This is really sad news. Being able to quickly say “Alexa, add bread” and know that will appear in the bakery section of AnyList has been incredibly useful. I’m not sure I can train (or want) to say “Alexa tell AnyList to add bread to my grocery list”.

I think they know what they’re doing there

And bring back the plastic back (albeit using recycled supermarket bags or whatever). The 5c was such a great phone.

Exactly! I had really hoped that would catch on, but I only ever saw it on some Nokia Winphones and cheaper Androids. The glass back is one of my least favorite features of modern phones and metal isn't much better (pick your poison: shatter, dent, or scratch). The 5c was also a bit of a callback to Apple's white polycarbonate era and some of my absolute favorite Macs.

I even saw some renders of a translucent replacement back for the 5c inspired by the original fruit iMacs[1]. (Shut up and take my money!)

FWIW, Samsung used a plastic back for their basic Galaxy S21. I like it personally (less slippery than my old S7 Edge), but it seems to have been controversial among the user base, and they switched back to glass for later versions.

Thanks for the tip! I'll have to watch and see if it gets Lineage eventually as I don't really care for Samsung's software, but by the time I'm ready to replace my OnePlus it might be a contender.

and make it rubberized, please. so that I for once can use a phone without case

Try Kagi instead. It’s a very nice search experience and and actually grants more control over results than Neeva did.

I love Ink. Made a game with it: https://www.npmjs.com/package/5dice

…but there is in Wendows?

Thank you. It seems silly but my first parse was "-c(heckout)" but that comes from not using "switch" yet; I need to rewire my brain from "checkout".
