Re:Ask HN: Why are Android phones such a scam? on Monday February 19, 2024 @11:21AM (#39431492)
There are quite a few places(countries and regions) on earth right now that pretty much require you to have access to a smartphone to get around. China = WeChat Sweden = BankID, any public transport company uses apps to name the 2 on top of my head right now.

Sadly we're getting more and more locked into having a smart phone to get around unless you're filthy rich or off the grid.

Made me remember this old video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jW_DhjbHC-U

no idea if it's still a thing or not though.
