Introducing Sage Mobile: The World’s First Healthy iPhone Launches in the UK
LONDON, UK, 16 July, 2025: Sage Mobile, a new tech brand redefining the modern smartphone experience, is officially launching in the UK with the debut of the world’s only healthy iPhone for kids and teens. Built on a foundation of digital wellbeing and simplicity, Sage Mobile offers a sleek, secure alternative to traditional smartphones, free from social media, internet browsers, and algorithm-driven apps.
The UK launch marks the international expansion of Techless, Inc., the US-based company behind the cult-favourite Wisephone. With Sage, the brand is bringing its mission to protect focus, foster intentional connection, and reduce online risk to UK families for the first time.
Sage Mobile will debut with two iPhone models – the iPhone 16e and iPhone 16 Pro – each preloaded with Sage software, which removes the most common digital distractions and risks. Designed for children taking their first step into digital life, as well as adults seeking a healthier relationship with tech, Sage challenges the norms of always-on culture.
“We didn’t want to build a ‘parental control’ phone,” said Chris Kaspar, CEO and Founder of Techless. “We wanted to build a device that’s safe by design, not safe by surveillance. With Sage, we’ve created a smartphone that helps people reconnect with real life, not just reduce screen time.”
Key Features of Sage Mobile
A Movement, Not Just a Product
The brand’s UK launch is rooted in growing concerns around online safety, youth mental health, and tech overload. A recent NSPCC report revealed over 7,000 online grooming crimes were recorded in the UK in a single year, with most victims aged 12 to 15. Sage removes the risk at its root by eliminating the platforms predators use.
Sage is not just for kids. With increasing numbers of young adults deleting social media and seeking distraction-free devices, Sage is also positioned as a rebellion against digital noise – ideal for creatives, minimalists, and anyone who wants to live more and scroll less.
The Launch Event: Above the Noise
Sage Mobile’s UK launch, Above the Noise, will be held at the Tate Modern in London on Wednesday 16 July 2025. The invitation-only lunchtime event will feature a keynote by a leading UK psychologist and an intimate panel discussion exploring healthy tech use, with expert insight from Techless founder Chris Kaspar. A limited number of Sage Mobile devices will be available to media and early adopters on request.
