Comment on Kendrick Lamar's company just dropped a limited-edition 'dumb' phone. It's already sold out.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year agoYeah, the 8 ball bothers me, as does the ‘it’s a dumb phone, but you can add a bunch of apps,’ which is… a regular smartphone with no apps installed for the most part. The e-ink screen is unusual and interesting for a phone and I can see the appeal there, but the rest is kind of odd.
I’m guessing the majority of the phones were bought by people who are big fans of Kendrick Lamar. I sort of understand. An (impossible) equivalent to me would be if Stanley Kubrick came out with some piece of tech. I’d be sorely tempted to buy it just because I love Stanley Kubrick.

but you can’t add a bunch off apps.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Sure sounds like you can to me.

many dumphones have these functions.
calculator and GPS is not what most people think of from the phrase “a bunch of apps”
