Light is a radically different technology company. We design beautiful tools that respect and empower our users and our first product is The Light Phone.

Anybody have one of these gizmos? Seems a bit interesting to me although it also lacks a number of non-social smartphone features I like/use:

  • mapping/directions (apparently this is an optional feature, no idea about quality)
  • audiobooks (although maybe podcasts app can be used?)
  • signal/whatsapp
  • email (viewing email as addictive in 2024 is a bit quaint; remember "crackberries"?)
  • silent_water [she/her]

    wouldn't loading a minimalist OS onto the phone and just not installing those apps accomplish the same thing?
