I think Judy used a voice recording pen instead of her phone because it's a little be less noticeable. She can do that while making it just look like she's taking notes, instead of pulling her phone out to record or awkwardly recording Nick in her pocket. So, in a sense, it uses a logical weakness of phones and finds a way around it. *Edited it because I put 'Regarding' instead of 'recording'.

Also, that pen is literally magic. It can perfectly record someone's voice from any distance, even while they're standing on top of a pit (in the museum at the end), entirely filters out background noise and other interference, can focus on SPECIFIC people to record, has apparently massive battery life in spite of its size, and has an ambiguous but terribly large storage capacity. Honestly? Judy should have used it to record Mayor Lionheart and the doctor. At least her parents wouldn't call her on it and expose her hiding spot.

I've always felt there was such huge untapped potential with phones and identity impersonation for horror movies. Instead of the ghost causing electrical interference causing the signal to drop, the person actually dials 911 and thinks help is on the way, but it was actually the ghost and nobody is coming. They get a call from their friend telling them to meet them somewhere, but their friend finds them and absolutely did not call them. They start scrolling through old images on their phone and find the ghost in every single one of them.

A common problem in fiction is writing stories that are based on things the writer has seen done in other stories, instead of the writer drawing inspiration from the world around them. You end up with fiction that takes inspiration from fiction, and it all gets further and further away from what life is actually like, especially if times have changed. If you want to know how to incorporate phones into a story, look around you at how people use their phones in real life. It’s not like people have stopped having adventures or problems or conflicts.

I agree with this. Consider that so many movies and story tropes rely on a lack of communication in some fashion. Back in the day, this wasn't a problem since communication wasn't as easy. Oh no, the hero isn't able to tell the chief of police to stop the parade! Now they HAVE to go and save the day! Oh no, the romantic interest got mad because the main character didn't show up to the soup kitchen! If only they could have contacted them to let them know! And so on.

In the game NEO: The World Ends With You, the protagonist, Rindo, uses his phone to look up info so often it becomes a defining character trait that, whenever one character will mention a certain piece of info, his immediate next line of dialogue will have him hold up his phone and read aloud some word definition, news article or whatever is relevant in the moment. This stood out to me due to how seamlessly and often he does it, as opposed to other media where the mere act of looking up stuff online will be the center focus of a scene.

How many movies from the mid '90s and early '00s have a line about "the information superhighway" which seems even more old fashioned than the household robots from '60s media set in the 2000s?

That line of reason doesn't really make sense. When you watch a movie decades after it was released, it almost becomes recontextualized as a period film.

In 30 years, watching a film from 2022 that avoids showing too much 2022 technology won't somehow feel less dated, it will just feel less authentic to the time period in which it takes place.

It's just part of basic writing: You need to isolate the protagonist(s) somehow so they have to solve the problem on their own. Otherwise the audience is left thinking 'why not just go to the police?' or something along those lines. There are plenty of ways to go about that though. Physical isolation works - just set the film in the middle of nowhere. But there are alternatives. - You can have an antagonist so powerful that authority figures can't do anything, like a big government conspiracy or a super-wealthy mogul. - You can have the protagonist's experiences implausible enough that they wouldn't be believed. The original Terminator used this one: Trying to explain time-traveling cyborg assassins to the police just results in the psychiatrist being summoned. - You can give the protagonist an honor code that prohibits seeking assistance. A particularly well-written one that comes to mind is from a children's book: Matilda. The book explains why it is that the children cannot simply tell their parents about the abusive headmistress of their school: It is because she deliberately makes sure that her abuse is so over-the-top as to be unbelievable. Any time a child tries to go to their parents, they are accused of making up stories, because no-one believes that Trunchbull would /actually/ lock students in a standing-room-only cage lined with glass shards and spikes. In one paragraph the author not only explains away why the authorities are unable to help, but also adds another aspect to Trunchbull's character and demonstrates the difficulty that the children of the story face in trying to be taken seriously by adults who dismiss every word they say as childish prattle without listening.

MLP: A New Generation used smartphones in a kinda cute way by designing phones that ponies can actually hold and use instead of just using a standard smartphone design and calling it a day. On a somewhat related note, Gravity Falls was one of the only cartoons to reference memes without making me cringe. Probably because it helped move the story along by showing how much the public disapproves of Grunkle Stan when he runs for mayor instead of just being a throwaway gag, and it kinda reflects how memes are used in real life as there are almost always memes when a public figure messes up.

I think seeing the phone as a "get-out-of-jail-free card" is an interesting way to put it, and you're completely right. In Doctor Who, there is a device that the Doctor (the main protagonist) uses on a regular basis called the sonic screwdriver. It allows him to open locks that aren't on wooden doors, and scan things. When it was first introduced in the show, it, too, was viewed as a get-out-of-jail-free card because it allowed the Doctor to escape locked rooms. There have been a few changes made to it over the years, such as the classic, "Oh! It's deadlocked! I can't open it!" but in the end I think it ended up being a balanced object in the show.

A lot of movie plots rely on miscommunication/lack of communication at the proper time to continue, characters might make assumptions about each other and this will inspire their actions. When you have two characters at opposite ends of the stories map, but they are both given phones, immediately they have a way to communicate and dispel a large amount of conflict/uneccesary travelling to locations to get informations. They are just too convenient a creation to exist in fiction

You will then see an increase in smartphone use in the stories because they'll be written by people who had smartphones around their entire adult lives and won't see them as weird new things that interfere with traditional story structures. 2 - People want to see stories resolved by characters we care about, not outside forces ... which is why sources of communication have been dropped in stories for all time.

I suspect it's because the creators use it as a familiar signal to adults, but also use it in shows for kids who are not familiar with a school bell. So the creators don't add smartphones because that's not what they grew up with. It's not an exact parallel, but I can see similarities.

A smartphone can solve a lot of the protagonists problems in most movies so they tend to avoid them. Being lost, alone and lacking information is a scary situation for most people and the phone just take away these things so particularly in horror movies they tend to avoid phones. And good luck trying to hide your secret identity when everyone have a camera and likely a huge social media following focused on them. A lot of the movie makers are a bit older as well and didn't grow up with smartphones which makes it a bit harder to integrate them into the plot. Usually they decide to take them out to avoid plotholes by having them destroyed, having no signal or being stolen. That actually works pretty well in a horror movie since not having access to your smartphone is pretty scary to a millennial.
