We’re only spending<\/span> more and more time staring at our smartphones, and over the past few years, tech companies have tried to offer salves to this very problem they created. Apple and Google launched tools<\/a> within their respective mobile operating systems to curb screen time. Devices like the Light Phone<\/a>, designed to act as a secondary phone<\/a> with limited features so you’re not staring at Instagram when you\u2019re at a social gathering, are enjoying some popularity. This kind of digital-detox mentality is also behind a wave of AI-powered gadgets like the Humane Ai Pin<\/a>, which promises to offload some smartphone-native tasks to voice controls on a screenless interface.<\/p>\n

The latest to hop on the trend is The Boring Phone, announced today ahead of Milan Design Week. The company manufacturing it is Human Mobile Devices (HMD), better known as the company making Nokia-branded phones<\/a> since 2017 thanks to a licensing partnership. The Boring Phone is cute, transparent, and retrolicious. But it is not a phone you can buy.<\/p>\n
