‘No one’s making a phone like this’: Light’s co-founders on building for the anti-smartphone generation

Light Phone co-founders Kaiwei Tang and Joe Hollier talked on TechCrunch’s Equity podcast about their newly announced flip phone.

They framed Light Phone as part of a broader push for digital minimalism and resistance to smartphone addiction.

The discussion reflects growing consumer backlash against Big Tech attention design and constant connectivity.

Rising interest in simpler devices suggests the anti-smartphone movement may keep gaining momentum.
