Always had a cheap desktop computer and never thought a phone was worth it. Is there a reason people like me should reconsider?

    My smartphone is mega useful to me:

    • Step tracking. I can see trends in how much physical activity I’m getting
    • Alarm clock
    • Reminders and lists. I use features like “Remind me at 7 pm that I need to do X” many times per day
    • Google maps and especially transit directions are incredible. Being able to download offline maps is great too for when I’m traveling
    • Ultra high resolution camera in my pocket
    • Google’s been great for the last 20 years. Now GPT-4 is my go-to when I have a quejaron about anything
    • Being able to call people is handy
