      Absolutely. My last phone was a Pixel 3a I got for $80 running GrapheneOS, and everything important was backed up.

      The peace of mind that comes with not giving a shit about your phone is great. I’ve missed that since upgrading to a new $600 slab of glass.

      There’s a documented condition in the US called noiphonebia, where people suffer a crippling fear of green bubbles.

    My phone can simultaneously act as my backup keys, my backup wallet, my only bus passnand my main means to get help. If my phone dies or I forget it there’s a good chance I’m walking home.

    Lol, I must be a bad millennial. I routinely forget my phone exists and leave it on my desk in my home office when I leave to run errands or w/e. It is funny when I notice though. I even am supposed to work from it during the day and yeah… Maybe that is why I never care. That and severe ADHD.

    The fear of being alone with your thoughts with no escape mechanism.

      I mean I can use my own thoughts as an escape mechanism just fine, I’ve just had a medical emergency before when I didn’t have my phone with me and really needed it, so I prefer to have my phone on me if possible.
