I wager some people want "dumbphones". A phone you open and just dial into without scrolling through apps. A phone with a simple screen that doesn't just gobble down battery life. So, like, a smartphone could fit this need with the right interfaces available.
I mean, yeah, but that's a different desire than this article is talking about because they're more or less talking about flip phones.
