On an iPhone, iOS12(most of the previous too), you can change how the app notifies you.
I want it American Airlines to notify me when my Boarding pass is available. The only other notifications I allow are the ones on my clock reminders or my calendar reminders. When you down load it or afterwards, you can adjust this. I don’t know why the OP doesn’t just stop the reminders on the app. My wife wants Gmail to tell her every time an email comes in. I don’t.
If you don't think phones are status symbols you don't get out much. You mentioned cars and houses, phones fit into that among a subset of the population.
NO ONE thinks of a phone as a status symbol anymore. That is, honestly, SO 5 years ago.

smart phones in the 1st world are like toilet paper. Everyone uses it; some people buy Charmin, some people buy the cheapest; but everyone uses some of it somewhere sometime.
I only decided that we would start flying instead of long 3 day drives to see my grandson last October, so we both got Iphone 7’s. before that I had a flip phone and my wife a iPhone 4s. It does make flying much easier, and if you need something at the destination, its much easier to find it, like a McDonalds or a gas station or a TJ Max.
You are the core of the problem. If you truly want to change, you start changing your own behavior one step at a time. Don’t expect a dramatic change over night, that simply not going to work.

It may not be a status symbol in the US, but it is in some places overseas. For several years already I have worked with a lot of foreign students. The majority are engineers, and every one of them has the latest and fanciest iPhone, all nice and shiny without a cover. For some reason they tend to drift toward the gold color iPhone. I have already asked, and that's how I know that to most it is a status symbol.
To me the iPhone is just a tool. I use it to communicate with others via text and voice, but that's about it.
It's sort of a status symbol to me as I'll be 76 in a couple of days and smart phones are kind of rare in my age group.
I live on Mount Desert Island, Maine. Nearly every 65-80 year old I know has one. I was the rare one with my dumb flip phone. I’m 70.
