Well , it doesn’t explicitly specify in the article what they mean by “don’t have their phone”, but from context I understand it as “not using it”, or having it put away but still within reach.

The article also seem very directed at social media. All the things you mentioned, except social media, are on a ‘need’ basis (transportation, bank access, etc) which really doesn’t take an abundance of screen time.

Oh yes I most definitely agree with you!

Thing is, in the US circumcision is done by far more people than just practicing Jews. It’s somehow been embedded into their standard societal practices.
