Do it like me and you can make “no willpower needed” work with an iPhone: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38850248
Even though I agree this solution is extremely hacky, it does work.

This would be my reason for a “dumbphone”, as a less distracting alternative. They also tend to be, in my limited research, cheaper, so if I am out traveling and it gets stolen I am not out hundreds of dollars but rather only $75-$100.
You're right someone could uninstall all of the apps they don't want, but the apps (and the internet) are *addicting*. It's understandable that someone would want a phone where installing Facebook, or whatever, is impossible. If you buy a phone that is incapable of doing something, then it requires no will power on behalf of the user.
