I was a cell phone hater too for most of my life (except the last 10 years or so) and a rabid iPhone hater bordering on neurotic despiser.
The reason you refuse to carry an iPhone in your pocket isn't because it's taking up room in your pocket (the smaller phones are easily manageable) it's because you've developed a mental disorder about them. I was the same way too. Once you get over your irrational aversion towards them, you'll realize they are extremely handy.
I don't hate the technology. I hate the people who use them, and how it has destroyed our society. (Funny now how all of the "smarties" in Silicon Valley and the media and finally wising up and realizing something I learned back in the late 1990s?!)
My refusal to own and use a smartphone is my personal political protest and to make a point that it has hd ZERO impact on the quality of my life in the last 20 years.
Unlike those around me, I can still function without a smartphone or social media account and so on.
The technology is not what's bad - it's people's inability to know when too much is too much. (For example, being chained to your device while you... Drive a car, shop in the store, go to the bathroom, parent your kids, fly an airplane, drive an 18-wheeler, go to church, attend a meeting at work, have sex, eat dinner, go to school, and so on...)
Those above things and people are were the "illness" lies...
Not me. Never!
Leave a voicemail and when I get home and after supper, then I'll call you when I have time.
I do like the camera feature of my iPhone - very handy, I must confess!
And when I get back into responsive web design, my 6S Plus will be handy for testing my code.
That is where my relationship with my phone ends. Thank you!
The fact that you want to keep one always in your car shows that you're fighting yourself. It's a step in the right direction. One day you'll accept carrying a smartphone in your pocket and you'll look back at your earlier revulsion and wonder what all the fuss was about.
No, it's just a more convenient (and safer) camera in many situations than my 35mm. I kept my Nikon in my care for 5 years until the body died 6 months ago. (In Texas heat and Northern freezing cold.) I always had a camera handy so I could "get the shot".
But while my camera was broken, I discovered that I can take MORE pictures in certain situations, BETTER pictures in some situations, and am LESS LIKELY to get my ass kicked using an iPhone versus a 35mm!!
If I can now happily carry an iPhone in my pocket wherever I go, surely you can too, cuz I was a rabid hater of them.
I don't ever keep my iPhone in my pocket. For now, I leave it in my messenger bag so I *usually* have it with me on my way to work, at work, and at home.
But since I have missed a lot of good photos running errands, I either need to make sure to bring it with me, or buy a couple extra and put them in strategic places like my car, travel bag, home home, etc.
