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”?)

    I don’t know why every single company is so allergic to buttons anymore. They say it’s for waterproofing or for cost, but the fact that I can get a feature phone for $15 which is waterproof and has a shitton of buttons disproves that.
