Coming up with a solution to phone addiction is not an easy one and will also involve using more tech in the process. Apple’s software keynotes are normally about how the ways you’ll be able to get your devices to do more, but the event on Monday had an unusually paternalistic bend. Demonstrating their new “time well spent” apps, Apple executives showed how your iPhone will get you to spend less time on your iPhone (Weird Right?… I Know). So if you’ve spent longer stalking your crush on Instagram then you had previously planned it will say: “You went over your Instagram limit two times this week” – presumably it’s not angry, just disappointed.

The situation the world finds itself as relates the explosion of tech solutions that supposedly help you spend less time on your phone is reflective of the oversupply of exuberance still on display in Silicon Valley. Even as tech companies recognise that the amount we’re staring at screens is making us miserable, they still believe its their products that can fix the problem (Tech is awesome). Apple announced new “digital health” tools that will be found in the settings app. The company will allow you to stop your phone from disturbing you while you are asleep, group certain notifications together and see how many times a day you check your phone – all in a bid to improve your wellbeing and proffer a solution to phone addiction.
