I don’t get how people will do all of their business on a tiny phone. Like anything that needs more then a few sentences of typing, I’ll go to my computer to do instead, same with filling out forms.
Same goes for phone gaming. Touch controls are always ass.
I do find myself using my phone a lot more than I used to - all my Lemmy activity is on my phone, and most of my messaging is too. Those are things it’s very convenient to have in my pocket. But I could not survive without a laptop.
Any sort of actual task, be that shopping, banking, research or general browsing, is all far better there.
Trying to do anything involved, like compare and buy car insurance on my phone, feels utterly crippling - as if I’m operating at 20% efficiency, and I can feel my fingers burning with frustration at how much quicker I’d be with a keyboard, trackpad, and decent multitasking.
Using a phone exclusively.

Big purchases require big screen. I have spoken.
Anything over 50-100€ is not getting bought in a phone.
