The experiment was DOA, since there was no way of transferring my contacts from the iPhone to the Nokia. Furthermore, Sweden runs on BankID (an electronic id service) and it wasn’t available for the Nokia.
What did work on the other hand, was buying an Apple Watch with cellular. Now my phone is often in my bag/car/house and I’m still reachable via the Apple Watch, but have no way of doom scrolling.
When I first got BankID it was not tied to my phone and it was a lot of hassle to figure out how to make that the case with Handelsbanken (my bank at the time).
Much easier with Nordea, nordea having greater English support (though not amazing) and a much better web interface (bordering amazing when compared with Handelsbanken).
You’re right, but there’s no way I’m lugging an additional widget everywhere I go.
Now, the Apple Watch doesn’t have it either (yet) but it’s a good enough compromise where I can take a walk or run an errand without needing to take my phone with me.
I use it mostly to sign contracts, view kivra (IE; check payslips and official mail from companies), sign automatic payments and check my bank account.
I don’t need to do those things on the go, but maybe I’m missing something, since currently I have an iPhone with BankID and I could be forgetting a time when I use it.
(Getting a credit card with Apple Pay fixed this)
