You’re going to have to explain this one.

He's homeschooled. He loves Minecraft and Kerbal.
But I think what did it the most is that the adults in his life are all self-employed and a bit stuck on their phones/laptops/tablets. I'm thinking this may end up skipping a generation.

The kids are going to be all right
The 7 is fine. Went to my partner, could've gone to my teenager, but he's not interested in a phone.
The question I've asked myself a bunch of times in the past and which could be super relevant next year: if there's a 120hz iPad with 5G, I could absolutely live with that as my only device.
I barely want a phone these days and work hard not to pull it out. I do use it for running though (heart rate band). Easily replaced by something else, but I definitely don't want to just buy gadgets on an annual basis anymore.
