Yes, but then again, I'm looking at seven older smartphones —right now— on my desk, and only one is even capable of running /all/ those apps.

I had to buy it just because of that. 'cause even my Huawei P-Smart 2021 (currently in my pocket and not among the others on my desk) can't run some of those pesky apps.

Many banking apps require a phone number/SIM card to operate, but assuming you can copy codes, etc, what happens when you want to use those apps out and about (or abroad) if the phone never leaves home?

This too... :(

Fortunately, my lifestyle places me out of that use case.

What if you go on a vacation?

I can use my credit card.
