Gen Z are ditching iPhones for this retro classic - and it's not a smartphone
Gen Z have been showing off their retro phone finds - but as doomscrolling and social media makes more of an negative impact on our lives, the reason may lie in something more serious Gen Z have been recycling fashion looks from the early 2000s and now they're reclaiming old phones too: from clunky Nokias to iconic flip-phones. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the now-discontinued BlackBerry is becoming the ultimate symbol of retro cool. You may remember BlackBerry 's as the original statement phone. First dropped in 1999, the BlackBerry 850 was a squat digital device, somewhat reminiscent of a school calculator. It went through several revolutions, with the Blackberry Curve, which debuted in 2007, BlackBerry Flip 8220, released in 2008, and the BlackBerry Key One, a smartphone featuring a keyboard, which dropped in 2017. Unfortunately, the times moved on without them. Physical keyboards fell out of favour and were replaced by touchscreen smartphones and scrolling. Eventually, the BlackBerry discontinued servicing their classic phones in 2022, taking their misplaced-but-retroactively-beloved keyboards to their digital grave. But this isn't where the story ends. The BlackBerry is being made relevant once again by none other than Gen Z, who have been sharing their retro-phone finds on TikTok - ironically, given many of these old phones can't actually support the app. Currently, the hashtag flipphone has almost 35K posts on the video-sharing app, while the hashtag for Blackberry also boasts close to 125K. These feature videos, often accumulating hundreds and thousands of views, documenting their return to more basic phones. Help us improve our content by completing the survey below. We'd love to hear from you! A video by gaming and tech influencer @notchonnie garnered over four million views after she posted a video of her white, aesthetically-decorated BlackBerry Classic Q20. 'Is it practical? No. Is it fun to me? Yes," she captioned the clip. It's hard to deny that flip phones, which require a very definitive and fierce wrist flick to open, and their related text culture (i.e. 'c u l8r', 'wbu') have a fun, 2000s nostalgia appeal. But it's not just aesthetics drawing younger users back to these phones. There appears to be a deep desire to get away from social media apps and, ultimately, doomscrolling. In fact, according to poll by More In Common, almost two thirds of Gen Z Brits believe social media does more harm than good, while half admit they wish they'd spent less time on their phones growing up. This can be seen most clearly in the 'flip phone challenge', which has become a hugely popular trend on the app. While the parameters vary, it generally involves people trying to use a flip phone for a period of time extending over weeks to a few months – or even attempting an indefinite switch. A TikTok by @shozi_055 quickly gained over 2.7 million views after she posted her BlackBerry phone unboxing. Her caption read: 'My phone addiction is getting way too out of hand, I'm trying to take my life back.' In the video she added: "POV: you bought a blackberry in 2025 [because] your iPhone is ruining your life." Commenters were eager to share their own experiences with logging in far too much screen time. 'I had a BlackBerry Torch and if I could find one right now, I'd put down my iPhone in a heart beat,' one user wrote. 'When life was soooo simple,' another added. Of course, it's undeniable that nostalgia appears to be also playing a role in the BlackBerry's allure. After all, it's the very first phone that many Gen Z have memories of being told they couldn't have. As one commenter said: 'I'm gonna buy it just because it was a childhood dream to own it.'

I'm slammed for piercing my baby's ears with hoops, trolls say it's so ‘council estate' & call her a ‘baby doll chav'
A MUM has been slammed for piercing her one-year-old daughter's ears with large gold hoops. Molly Ahern took to social media, sharing a video of her tot which left people horrified. 2 2 The clip, which has now taken the internet by storm, shows her daughter snuggled under a blanket with her mum. The only thing shown is her daughter's large gold hoops hanging from her ears. In the clip, the mum joked she was making the most of her daughter's cuddles before she grew up. She wrote: "Treasuring these cuddles cos in 15 years I'm gonna be a 'fat s**g' for not letting a drug dealer with one tracksuit and a 3.5 to his name stay in my home with her." Molly also captioned the post 'No boyfriends.' But that was not what caught viewers' attention. Instead, people were focused on the little girl's earrings and had plenty to say about it. The video shared on her TikTok account @ went viral with over 200k views and people didn't hold back on their opinions. While some said it was giving 'council house' vibes others called her a 'chav.' One person wrote: "Holy council estate." I love dressing my daughter up in fancy clothes and £100 earrings - she's my real life doll Another commented: 'The earrings say enough already." "Oh dear," penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "Those hoops are a choking hazard." "The earrings are a NO!' claimed a fifth. Ear-piercing babies and toddlers CAROL Cooper, Sun Doctor, reveals the medical implications of ear-piercing babies and toddlers: Ear-piercing in babies and toddlers is controversial. On the one hand, it could be seen as a form of child abuse. But it's also widely done in many countries and cultures, and is a lot less of an assault than other procedures some girls have to endure. There are certainly medical hazards. Infection is one, which is why many paediatricians recommend waiting until at least the first tetanus jab at two months of age. But there are also many other potential infections which routine vaccines don't prevent. Getting ears pierced somewhere that just looks clean is no guarantee. Tearing the earlobe is a risk if the earring gets caught on clothing or bedding, or the baby just pulls on it. The earrings can also fall out, and they're small enough to be a choking hazard to a baby or young child. Sometimes keloid scarring results, with an unsightly lumpy scar. That's why it's better to wait till your child is old enough to want pierced ears, as well as to look after them herself. Someone else added: 'The earrings! Poor baby." But Molly didn't seem fussed as to what haters had to say. In the comments, she told them to 'put a sock in it,' and revealed her baby didn't cry when the piercing was done. In another clip, laughing at the nasty trolls, she said she and her baby was unfazed by the hate. "My little baby doll chav," she captioned the post.
