I have jeans that my wife added a cellphone pocket to, it works out great. My summer shorts already had cellphone pockets, so I always have my cellphone in a dedicated pocket. It doesn't get scratched or jammed in with a bunch of other stuff.I use a dedicated laptop for banking and some medical and government related functions where i have digital ID etc.
A lot of people use the Smartphone for it, but i use a laptop.
My computers can do everything a smartphone can and ten time better and i have at least a 17" screen(laptop), a real keyboard and a real mouse.
My TV is a dumb-TV, but i have since 1996 had a computer hooked up to my TV and home-cinema system, so i have all movies, series and music right there. And i have more disk-space then any smart-tv out there.
I want a phone that can fit in my jeans jacket front pocket... a smartphone is like going back to the mid 90's where i needed a bag to be able to bring my phone. today's smartphone is as big or even bigger then the phones was in 1994. its a freaking brick you carry around.
Sure i like nostalgia and collect OEM computers from the 80's and up.. But I'm not that nostalgic i want to start carrying a bag everyday just to bring my phone. *LOL*
Lets show what i mean.. 1990's VS 2020's
My old nokia from 1995 (i think).... and my Sony Xperia 5 V2 from 2022.

BTW, I don't do any of those housekeeping chores on my phone, with a 45" screen and a real keyboard and mouse, I'd much rather do them on the computer.

My add-on pockets are on the outside, and they add no additional fit issues. I actually do like the full screen on occasion that I want to do some lookups and the like with the phone. I'm not ready to go back to the flip phone. I'm not missing my Motorola StarTac from the 90's at all!
