Not all screen time is created equal (rerun)
This episode originally aired on August 19th, 2024. Six years ago, Apple introduced a new feature on iPhones and iPads: The Screen Time Report. The feature promised to empower users to manage their device time and balance the things that are really important. But is it actually doing that? Caroline Mimbs Nyce, a staff writer at The Atlantic, recently wrote about why she thinks Screen Time is the worst feature Apple has ever made. She told Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino that it sometimes feels like Screen Time is doing more guilt-tripping than empowering these days.
