It’s almost a requirement of modern city living To have one.

Paying parking meters, not having to deal with rolls of quarters.

Also 2 factor logins at work from home require a smart phone.

Filling out forms for pandemic related info to get into Work requires a app. (For those that work in labs and not from Home)

I don’t love being plugged in all the time, but having lived my life without one (cell phones weren’t around in early 90s College) I’m not going back. Dumb phones were a pain to type on.

Apart from being always connected there is anxiety about my phone breaking which is another downside.
