    I used to have 2 phones just because I liked having an iPhone and an Android phone. Nobody believed me when I told them that I was genuinely just a tech enthusiast.

        I have a work phone, a personal phone, one for my drug deals, one each for my 3 mistresses and a Nokia 3210 for playing Snake.

            Hands and arms get tired, so it’s always good to have options.

            Then again, at that point you should just be poly and not lie to your partners. Much easier that way.

                100%

                During the pandemic, I bought a house with my wife and girlfriend because it’s somewhat cheaper to pay a mortgage and all utilities vs 2 rents and the utilities not covered by the building (plus dealing with bullshit landlords that fuck around with serious shit like bedbugs)

          if you use a google pixel with grapheneos, you can have multiple profiles that work similar enough to having multiple phones, with apps in each profile only being able to see what’s happening in that one profile, and if you close a profile every app in that profile is stopped completely

              if for some reason your bank apps require google play, you can have that in the other profile and they work just fine

            You can even access two profiles at the same time by using a “private space”

            I mean, I can just download multiple digital sim cards and tell the phone which one(s) to use. No need for a new profile

          I have thought about doing that. Do you use one for all your business apps?

            Not business, just stuff I don’t want to have installed on my phone. Like my mobile phone provider recently dumped their web based customer area, because most of their customers anyway use the app. So that app, which I need to top up money or change a contract is on a phone in a drawer at home. Don’t need it with me.

      There was a guy I worked with years ago who did the same. He always had the best android and the best iPhone. He liked to be the go to guy when you wanted a new phone or something.
