TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
CNET reviewed the $59 Brick, a palm-sized NFC magnet that helps iPhone users block selected apps and websites.
To regain access, users must physically tap their phone to the Brick again, adding real friction to screen-time limits.
The device supports customizable modes, schedules, and a limited number of emergency unlocks.
The review highlights Brick as a hardware-based way to make compulsive scrolling harder to bypass than software-only controls.
