First, it was disposable cameras. Then it was low-rise jeans. Now, – that mid-1990s era phone that has suddenly become oh so popular with millennials. Today, these smaller, lightweight devices – some available for as little as $20 at big box retailers like Walmart and Amazon – are showing up in TikTok videos of young people unboxing them, bedazzling their cases just as earlier generations did, and filming tutorials on achieving a carefree, blurry aesthetic through the low quality camera.
“It’s a generation that didn’t have a Nokia as their first phone and likely discovered our brand through social networks,” said Jackie Kates, HMD Global’s head of marketing. Gen Z is used to the many features that come with smart phones, from their numerous apps like Instagram, Find My Friends or GPS. But there are safety concerns, too, that come with relying on these simple devices.
Instead, they contact each other only through their flip phones throughout the night
and…?
Riveting.
“Genz” is a term used by kids and uneducated journalists. No adults use that term.
Ah, that period in time when one could type out a text without even looking at the screen.
🥴
This is not a thing. Nearly every carrier in the U.S. has sunset the 2G and 3G networks 'vintage' flip phones relied on. If they're using a flip phone, it's a new one equipped to access 4G, or they're simply not getting service.
Tim Cook just recently took a pay cut, also. So there's that
Lol no one is adopting this…
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It the warren special
Flip phones are 00’s. Brick and bag phones were 90’s
Wait till they find out about CD’s
I’m struggling to believe this but wouldn’t be surprised if it was true either.
I have a Nokia flip phone. I love it.
The 'flip phone' with camera did not exist in the 1990s. It was the mid-2000s.
Weirdo’s
umm... no
I use the Nokia flip phone. Definitely saves me a lot of time not wasted on smart Iphone used to have. Not gen z (millennial) and haven't met a single other person with one.
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Gen Z is doomed. woof
Nothing surpassed that side leg text without looking at the keypad. Should put that on my resume
Gen Z going backwards, just like CNN.
I wonder if any of the DUMB SOFT generation knows what *67 or *69 ?
The Truth …Our kids don’t need to learn that TRASH!!
Young people are stupid. I would know. I was a young person once too.
Less butt calls for sure…….
Why stop there?
A trend I would like to see is giving Gen-Z 28k internet speeds and see them react.
Well can 't be predict with the trend sometimes can be show up again like this old model flip phone on the 2023 😘
I'm an member of Gen Z and I'm not obsessed with flip phones
Good. Normies ruined technology. Bring back tactile buttons and the complexity that gatekept brainlets off the internet
So original
I predict next it’ll be VHS cameras/Betamax cameras
If you need to ditch your smartphone to keep from using the apps on it then you lack self control.
Lol. Maybe they'd wake up at last. Blessings 🙏🙏🙏😊😊😊.
Next will be polio because laying in a bed all day is such a vibe
You do realize Z is the LAST letter in the alphabet. There are none after that.
Bring back the brick phone.
🤣🤣🤣it was so hard to txt back then…and dont get me started in the androids
It's cause in Breaking Bad no one said goodbye; when they wanted to end a conversation they'd just close their flip phone. It was so dramatic lol
They don’t, shut up with your psy-op. The trend is TikTok and that ain’t in a flip phone
Corrupt News Network. Real hard-hitting news media.🤣🤣🤣
People should go back to writing letters
