@meluzzy@woof.tech Artificial obsolescence, yes certainly 👍
Time on phone, interesting and unexpected question. Is it generational?
I think peak phone usage was ≈2009-2012, smart phones were new/exciting, people were proud to display new phone, argued about OS (iOS/Android/Windows/Blackberry/Symbian), the latest apps were social phenomena (Angry Birds/Plants vs Zombies/Candy Crush), people still paid for ringtones, watched case reviews.
As an indicator, photo frequency on my phone is way way down.

For me in 2015 I used my Sony Xperia Z for 2 hours every day.
In 2017 I used my Samsung Galaxy S6 for 4 hours on average.
In 2021 I used my Google Pixel 3a for 6 hours on average
And now, in 2025, I use my Fairphone 5 about 7 hours on average.
However, I only take a fifth of the pictures I used to take when I was at highschool and university. So there is definetly a generational component.
