    Genuine question: What do you spend money on, on a phone? I’ve never bought anything myself and I don’t know what I could even spend money on.

      Lifetime subscription to programming learning apps, video editing apps, AI chat and art generator apps, and audio editing tools, which can only be restored by my Google account when I switch to another phone or reset.

        Video and audio editing on a phone honestly sounds terrible 🤣

        What programming learning app do you use ? Why not use online information ? Why buy lifetime subscription ?
