The Best Way to Turn Your iPhone into a Dumbphone (Apple Configurator 2)

🎯 Can’t Stop Your Phone Addiction? Try This Instead
You’ve tried everything — dumbphones, Screen Time, deleting apps — but nothing sticks. If your phone addiction keeps winning, this video is for you. I’ll show you a method using Apple Configurator 2 that turns your iPhone into a focused, distraction-free device — without losing the essentials (Maps, Banking, 2FA, Apple Pay, etc).

🧠 Why this actually works (when nothing else has):
• ✅ Designed to resist temptation, not just reduce it
• ✅ Free, effective, and hard to bypass
• ✅ Fully customizable to your life
• ✅ Keeps core apps and updates working — no new phone needed

⚙️ What you’ll learn:
• Why most approaches (dumbphones, Screen Time, focus apps) fail long-term
• How to build and apply a locked-down profile with Apple Configurator
• How to back up your device and future-proof your setup
• How to lock away the password using Lockbox or a trusted friend
