Maybe GP choses to not use it? What about your "relationsip with the PC"?

For me, time I have in front of my PC is quality time I'd rather not waste on bullshit like banking, or worse, rearrange my life to make activities in that quality time that I could've made on the go in the "time holes" during the day.

Fuck apps, alright, but phones are finally getting useful (despite vendors' attempts to undo that). I switched to a foldable phone 6 months ago, and since then I haven't used my personal laptop for anything, not even once. Foldables are what tablets couldn't be, and despite the toy OS, my Fold7 managed to take over ~all tasks I used to do on the laptop or PC, that don't strongly benefit from physical keyboard and sitting stationary (and a good chunk of the latter too, plugged to a screen via USB-C).

Right, I agree on that, I usually do my banking on the subway or in idle moments in a lobby somewhere. It is frustrating to me the juvenile interface provided by many a banking app but perhaps phones like your fold 7 have ways to bypass this for the "first-class" interfaces a computer grants you? I do understand where the reply to my posts' point is coming from, but I don't know many people now who aren't in the "laptop class" or "gamers" that have a computer anymore, it's a shame to me that something as homogeneous as banking is not yet more abstract and like SMS(not that it's a good role model) rather than the archaic mess with a colorful interface that it is now
