Reply To: Why are all the phones smartphones now?

The market prefers smartphones, and in a capitalist system what the consumers want usually determines what is produced, unlike some places (e.g. North Korea) where the government decides what you want, and you aren’t allowed to complain. One can still find an old fashioned “dumb” phone. One can also purchase a phone plan with no internet access other than the ability to do voice conversation and texting.
