People don't want dumb phones. They're already available and no one buys them.

Some still buy, like me

Yup.

In the 2000s (very young at the time) I sometimes thought about how awesome it would be if we had devices where we could go on the Internet from everywhere.

I do not want the world back where people could only look things up on the Internet from home or work or where there is a desktop computer.
