The dumbphone revival and the broader push to reclaim our attention have zeroed in on one habit in particular: reaching for a phone the moment we wake, and again as the last thing before sleep. A growing crop of devices now promises to break that loop, from feature phones built purely for calls and texts to social-media-blocking flip phones like Commodore’s retro Callback 8020. Copenhagen-based Habity Design is tackling the same problem from a different direction, replacing the phone on your nightstand rather than the one in your pocket.
It’s true I guess. I don’t understand the input costs here. But an offline LCD clock is literally a dollar store commodity. The design is gorgeous though.
At small volumes the e-ink display costs more than the average alarm clock BOM. And that’s not including the other features. This was made by a “design” firm. They’re targeting those who want to pay a premium.
