I unlocked my iPhone to check PSA.
Somehow I ended up on Instagram. 45 minutes later I put my phone down and realized I never even checked PSA.
That’s the problem we’re trying to solve with Minimal.
Pick it up. Do what you intended to do. Put it down.

The anti-doomscroll starter pack.
Just incase ya'll missed this... Minimal Phone 2 got yet another upgrade!
To everyone who's been asking about different keyboard layouts. We're doing it!
Oh, this is about to get real fun.
Claude Code. In your pocket. On a physical keyboard.
Let's dance! 🕺
$17.1B later and we’re finally admitting the quiet part out loud:
Technology was designed to keep you hooked.
Kids deserve better.
So do adults.
Meta will enforce a two-hour daily limit on Instagram and Facebook for children as part of a record $17.1B settlement with 29 states over social media addiction claims:
• The “Productive Pauses” for children include mandatory pauses after 15 minutes of continuous use and again at 60 and 90 minutes to interrupt endless scrolling
• “Nighttime blocks” restricting children’s access from 12:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.
• Limited school-time access for children, eliminating push notifications on weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. during the school year
• Robust age assurance measures to more effectively verify the age of young users
• Safer, age-appropriate content controls, including stronger safeguards against bullying, content promoting eating disorders, and content related to suicide and self-harm
• Stronger, more user-friendly parental controls
• Limits on social comparison features, including beauty filters and visible “like” counts, that have been linked to poor mental health outcomes in kids and teens
• Both the implementation and effectiveness of the features will be regularly assessed by an independent auditor and the settling states

We were supposed to wait until 2M.
We didn’t.
Every Minimal Phone 2 is now getting 12GB RAM.
Founders Ember: 16GB.
Locked in. Chipsets ordered.
Your best ideas happen in the shower because your phone isn’t in there with you.
Probably not a coincidence.
Still plenty of tuning left, but damn… already loving this qwerty!
Yesterday I posted iMessage running on the Minimal Phone 2.
3.9M+ impressions. 20K likes on X. Another 128K views on IG.
Clearly, a LOT of people are interested.
If you saw it, liked it, but haven’t backed one yet…
What’s stopping you?
I’ll be reading and responding..

you knew the rules, and so did i.
(this isn’t a real feature)
There’s something wild about seeing two generations of something we built sitting next to each other.
Anyway.. Back to building.
The best phone at the pool is the one you forget to check.
Buttery smooth tracking on initial testing. Definitely a much needed feature!
Are you not entertained?!
Another MP2 upgrade just got locked in.
The physical keyboard is now touch-capacitive.
Apparently building one truly unique phone wasn’t enough.
So we built another.
This thing has caused more strangers to stop me and ask “what phone is that?” than any phone I’ve ever owned.
To the good people who’ve been asking…
You’re not stuck with the orange accent. 😂
Full walkthrough of Minimal OS coming soon!
We went back and forth with our mechanical engineers until we found a way.
3,000 mAh → 3,600 mAh using an Advanced Silicon-Anode Lithium-Ion Battery.
Same footprint. Same compact phone.
600 mAh more battery without making Minimal Phone 2 any bigger.
Every backer gets the upgrade.
