I don't like smartphones. I use a dumbphone.

But this is a wonderful initiative.

What do you do to break them?

In my forties and never broken a headphone jack, headphones, cable, or in fact anything like that. I tend to take care of my stuff and not treat it in such a way as I’m going to break it.

Put it in my jeans pocket and move about my day as usual. Cycling broke them in a year, reliably.
