Well I'm the odd man out as usual
Phone calls and text messages constitute 95%+ of what i normally* use my phone for. And you'll never find FOMO involving me, nor any 'social media' stuff. What people do not seem to be able to understand is that this is
MY phone and I
WILL use it
ONLY in the way I want to regardless of what they want or think. You do likewise, just leave me out of your mess
You want me to do differently? OK then, you buy me a phone which does that, pay for the service, pay for the electricity to charge it, and don't
bitcomplain when I leave the extra baggage which I don't need in the truck or on my desk where it can't bother me
You also get to pay for repairs when it breaks and I can promise that will happen as I'll be tossing the da#& thing across the room often as it disturbs me and my peaceful life unnecessarily
You still want me to do things your way? Yeah, that's what I thought
Smartphones are the very best and the very worst thing that the 20th century brought us. Which one they are to you is totally your choice. The vast majority of people have chosen wrong

Disclaimer: I did use it as a hotspot when I was bugged out in the hills, but that was a very exceptional situation caused only by me not having any other means of internet access, and even then I used my laptop, not my phone, to do the actual work.
