Firstly, I don't believe them. I'd bet good money on this: NN or one of the sites they usually pull their click bait from, has pulled this out of their rectum. I mean, has anyone seen signs of this "trend" in people around them?
And thirdly, why would you replace your sophisticated location beacon with a far less functional one. Are these rocket surgeons blissfully unaware of triangulation, provider side tower usage data collection? Of course they are. What a dumbphone question.
And modern "dumb" phones are just smartphones with dumbphone UI skins. They run sophisticated operating systems (maybe even Android) and have all the tracking and monitoring features still.
Old nokia phones man. They never die
They ded, don't work with the new towers. The new Nokia phones are utter shit compared to what they used to be. Example, no text key shortcuts for 9 digit keypads.
I came here to say this same thing. Everytime I look at modern "dumb" phones, they are old hardware running Android.
All the "dumbphones" my carrier offers still have utoob, gmaps, & g search on them. Take that how ever you like.
I sell phones. People aren't coming from smartphones to flip phones, the reason for the increase of flip phone sales is because we're dumping the 3G network and they have to upgrade to a new flip phone. Mystery solved. Natural News is a shit site.
