It saddens me to agree with you. I'm not looking forward to the day when I get a new phone. Android and iOS are attention seekers, they ring and ding just so that you don't forget that you need them. Windows just sits in your pocket ready to do real work when it grabs your attention.

It's so liberating; what phones used to be and have become nothing but.

Er, what? If my iPhone makes a noise, it's only due to:

a) a reminder that I've explicitly set, or

b) a phone call or text message from someone

I'm not aware of any attention-grabbers that aren't from third party apps and can't be disabled. Could you elaborate?
