less. far less in most cases.

1) the phone is already data mining the shit out of me; this is just paying more money for something that's going to destroy my privacy more effectively.

2) AI adds no value to what I need this phone to do: take pictures, calls, text, web browsing, and a few other apps as needed.

3) the utility of AI is still dubious in general -- Copilot and ChatGPT still get enough shit wrong I cannot trust it in a work context, and the code they provides is basic but wonky in weird ways. the utility or marginal utility here is effectively non-existent.
