> we take an iPhone and configure it through Apple’s device management tools

$20-$50 / month to point an LLM at Apple Configurator is wild.

$20/month for an AI-programmed app that disables features on my phone is nuts. Your project is dead-on-arrival.

The idea is that the damage done by addictive social media apps is far greater than $20/month. And people already buy dumbed down smartphones based on Android that don’t allow most apps.

"Far greater" - then price it that way. Good luck getting anyone to pay $50/month though, or whatever you think it's worth for a few lines of Swift that Claude could make.

You're frankly asking a lot making it $2.99, but I'll let your customers speak to that more than myself.
