Linux-based phone still ‘runs 99% of Android apps’ so you can do more with it, if you wish.

Hotel: check in to room immediately without even going to front desk, even if its 3 am.

Airline: instant update of gate changes. When you need to sprint to make your flight because thr gate changed to one a half mile away, this is something you can't live without. TVs are getting less and less in airports now. Also, literally no one uses a paper ticket and I suspect they'll be phased out completely in 5 years. Too easy to fake.

There are people alive today who have never once written a check (I do, often), so you can kiss all of our old analog paper ways goodbye in a few years.

    Yeah I have never written a cheque either but I don't need an app as an alternative. Don't really see why I would need an app to tell me about gate changes at an airport, how often are you flying? I have changed devices more often than I have been in airports.

    Well we are different in that regard. I keep shit a long time ha, so ive probably had my phone 3 years and been in a plane 5 or 6 times . my SO flies a lot more, has many times had to sprint to their gate because it changed last minute.

    Plus, we dont own a printer anymore (ink=scam) so thats another hassle to go print a ticket. I'm guessing you can't even print at home either you probably need to use the airport printer.
