Hello. When I added that reference about the iPhone being the more recent phone, I was referring to the fact that the 2000s was when the cell phone boom was just beginning, and that for a modern viewer or reader, the cellphone they would be more familiar with is the iPhone. Judging from this, the flip phone does seem to be making a comeback, but it only seems to be a year, which is too early to say if it is a trend. Furthermore, I did not base it solely on the phone. I referred to how all of the protagonists, going by the mentions of their family occupations, are all wealthy, which after the financial crisis would be looked at much more seriously, and the frequent references to nuclear power quite cavalierly, which after the Fukushima disaster in 2011, would be unacceptable in Japan. |
Hello.

Judging from this, the flip phone does seem to be making a comeback, but it only seems to be a year, which is too early to say if it is a trend, and it is indicated that the surge in flip phones is still relatively small, with iPhones still the more common one. Furthermore, I did not base it solely on the phone. I referred to how all of the protagonists, going by the mentions of their family occupations, are all wealthy, which after the financial crisis would be looked at much more seriously, and the frequent references to nuclear power quite cavalierly, which after the Fukushima disaster in 2011, would be unacceptable in Japan. I would say that the presence, even briefly of a flip phone would still be enough of a giveaway to justify keeping it in the [[Unintentional Period Piece]] section. |
