Commodore Relaunches With a Retro Flip Phone That Blocks Social Media and Browsers
Ars Technica—The revived Commodore brand has released a flip phone designed explicitly to reduce digital distraction — blocking social media apps and web browsers while retaining calls, texts, and a curated set of utilities. Hacker News broke the story and Ars Technica followed with a full review, noting the device targets a growing 'dumb phone' market segment among users seeking deliberate digital minimalism. The Commodore name hasn't been attached to consumer hardware in decades.
