Boomer moment: I'm 30 but never got used to the feeling of modern smartphones against out ears. It's terrible and I can never hear or be heard well enough. It's to a point where I always answer in speakerphone or with headphones, facilitated by not answering the phone often. Recently I've been wishing to get an old phone-like accessory for my smartphone so I could do calls in a comfortable way.

... Then again, during covid I learned to answer phones around the lab on speakerphone, too, and these were classic-style phones. So maybe I'm a lost cause

Edit: old cellphones were fine, it's just smartphones that have the worst possible shape and texture to hold them against my ear. Sadly, my parents still see that as the primary use for a phone.
