Idk, I can't exactly "give up" because I quite literally injure myself trying to handle larger phones. I'm not really sure what I do when these last remaining smaller options stop working

I got an iPhone mini 13, thank god, but it's going to stop working at some point and it's currently my work phone! My Zenfone 10 is frankly a terrible phone but ASUS promised 4 years of security patches... and now they're 3 months late on security updates only 2 years into supporting the damn thing

Most of the early adopters I've spoken with said the things are mostly useless except for boilerplate or rote tasks until very recently, but obviously my crowd is not yours, heh. I've also seen managers demand why productivity isn't better if people are using these tools and they're so good and sigh

I'd contest "have been around for years." At least among my professional contacts who have become proponents of LLM use, essentially all of them have said these things were not ready for production use until ~Aug. of last year, and Claude is the only tool I hear spoken of as highly capable
