The Sage phone is a modified iPhone handset launched to help combat smartphone addiction. It lacks internet connectivity, web browsers, and popular social media apps. Marketed as a device for both children and adults, it emphasizes digital wellbeing and simplicity. The phone encourages users to reconnect with real life rather than just minimize screen time. It is priced higher than typical smartphone contracts, reflecting its unique approach to technology. The device aims to be a safer alternative designed without parental supervision.
According to Techless, the Sage phone is 'built on a foundation of digital wellbeing and simplicity' and offers a 'sleek, secure alternative to traditional smartphones'.
'Designed for children taking their first step into digital life, as well as adults seeking a healthier relationship with tech, Sage challenges the norms of always-on culture,' it said.
'With Sage, we've created a smartphone that helps people reconnect with real life, not just reduce screen time.'
'We wanted to build a device that's safe by design, not safe by surveillance,' said Kaspar.
