Kendrick Lamar enters the tech space with a collaboration on the Light Phone 2. Light phones offer minimalistic experiences without apps or color.

I hate minimalism! This is a dumb phone that got rid of everything that made dumb phones charming.

I love minimalism, but dumbphones are not functionally minimal. They do less and seem "simple", but you're offsetting necessary utility elsewhere. Mostly they require making compromises that don't need to be made if not for a little self-control.

A simple black rectangle is perfectly minimal. How you set them up is everything.
