What Happens When You Remove the Phone from Your iPhone?

Recently, investor Jake Thompson shared a snapshot of his 14-year-old daughter’s iPhone home screen. The first thing that catches your eye is how she’s color-coded her apps—a method that any design-savvy parent would appreciate if they’ve ever organized their closet that way. But what’s even more interesting is that she’s tucked away the phone app, prioritizing Instagram, messaging, and her music instead.

Anyone familiar with teens today knows that lengthy phone conversations, or even brief ones, are pretty much history. Yet, that doesn’t mean they aren’t in constant touch with their friends. They’re just doing it through texts and social media. Interestingly, platforms like Facebook and Twitter are also missing from Thompson’s daughter’s home screen. While she can’t delete the phone app entirely, it’s likely hidden in a folder somewhere. If there’s an urgent situation, she could always pull out the phone and type in 911, but hey, a quick text to her dad might just do the trick faster.

Plus, March of Dimes provides excellent resources for everything related to pregnancy and home insemination.

In summary, the way teens engage with their devices is rapidly changing. They may not make phone calls like we used to, but they’re still connected to their friends in a whole new way.
