Who uses their phone to be just a phone these days?

I’d say the phone part is the least used of my phone.

I never use the phone part of my personal pocket computer.

Raises hand — my phone is primarily for communicating with other people. When I want a computer, I have my desktop for that, or if it's too big to take with me then I'll have my laptop.

The only other thing it's commonly used for is music/podcasts. And once a week or so I'll take a photo.

Sure, I don't make as many voice calls as I used to, but text communication counts if you ask me - cell phones have had that feature since 1992.
