Coincidentally just today I was searching for a new phone to replace my current one which is slowly dying...I can't seem to find a battery that wasn't manufactured a decade ago and already aged.
(it's one of the last true Nokia dumb phones, but with touch screen)

There are some nice dumb alternatives these days.
But, other than the dire things reaching for the lowest price point, I found it interesting that they seem to be marketed primarily to people trying to "detox" from smart phones. They don't seem to realize that some people decided never to get toxed in the first place.

e.g. a few here https://dumbwireless.com/collections/phones

Of course, now that I am a gentleman of a certain age, most I meet simply assume the lack of a smart phone is because old folks aren't tech-savvy.
I'm more in tune with the Sunbeam folks--a group of Mennonites savvy enough to build a phone, but who try to be judicious about what modern technology to join.
I was just about to buy their "F1 Orchid" model but it doesn't have the radio bits needed to work in Europe. Aimed at Americans without passports, I guess.
