Just got a fairphone 4. It feels so much more solid than my old pixel 6a. Its battery lasts for almost 2 days. Same performance that I can see. Spare parts for cheapish on the site.

Anyways just wanted to share.

      I doubt the banks in the UK have decent or even functional websites for mobile screens. I couldn’t really deal with the frustration of using a half-baked website for banking, given that most of the apps themselves are half-baked too.

      Convenience wins for me, I’m afraid.

        To each their own. My only point was to count that who i replied to who implied everyone has to use a banking app.

        I personally refuse to use apps and if I can ONLY use a service via a smartphone app then I will simply not use the service.

      Off the top of my head I can name one banking institution that solely exists through a mobile application and more and more banks are moving in the same direction, making their conventional websites less functional.

      I don’t do anything important through the app, but it’s convenient for

      • sending an e-Transfer to a friend when splitting a bill
      • quickly locking your card if you lose it
