I'm comparing the impracticality, not the monetary impact

  • Carrying two massive slabs because a few apps won't run on one of them

  • Having a second home because some nights you can't sleep in one due to noisy neighbours

Where the more simple solution would be:

  • Have a phone that can run all of the apps you need so you don't need to buy and carry around a second phone
  • deal with your neighbours and sort stuff out rather than buy and travel to and from a second home.
