The Methaphone Is a Phone (That’s Not a Phone) to Help You Stop Using Your Phone

wired.com Arielle Pardes 2026-03-31 19:00:00

Earlier this year, Eric Antonow was in a coffee shop with his family when he felt the familiar, twitchy urge to reach for his phone. He patted his pockets for relief—the cool, thin slab was still there. He joked to his family that, like an addict jonesing for a hit, he would one day need a medical-grade solution to detox from his phone. Opioid addicts had methadone. iPhone addicts would need … methaphones. “It was a joke, but I got two laughs from my two teenagers, which is gold,” Antonow says.

It may well be able to wade through deep water, have crawl-assist mode for sketchy terrain, and even perform 360-degree swivel-on-the-spot tank turns, but sales of the seemingly much-anticipated electric Mercedes G-Class SUV have been poor.
