even the bigass 10" tablets are too small to watch movies on, watching them on a 4 inch phone screen and enjoying it is completely baffling to me

You think you can take me at Satan's Hollow? Go 'head on!
I used to watch YouTube videos on my iPhone in bed at night until I got an iPad, which is like an iPhone except bigger and you can't even use it as a phone.

I don't know about watching an entire two-hour movie on it but it's fine for everything else. It has a really sharp screen and it's basically like watching a flatscreen TV from across a big room.

Just wear the fucking mask, Bob

I don't care how many people I probably infected with COVID-19 while refusing to wear a mask, my comfort is far more important than the health and safety of everyone around me!

who the gently caress reads ebooks on a cell phone? My buddy has a loving iPhone 3G that he only uses for movies and books he's read like 500 books how could you man

My iPhone 6 plus I just got would have been great for watching things my last attempt at a serious girlfriend didn't like alone in the corner fitfully, while she painted her toenails, or whatever the hell that was she was always doing that took up like my entire apartment, I typed to myself all alone, in my underpants, also in the corner

What kind of loving schmuck uses a phone to look at huge blocks of text?

There's parts of Asia where cell phones with literal TV antennas on them are really popular





It's like the Sega Game gear TV tuner but in tyool 2014 and a highly-sought cell phone feature.

Ewan is tired of his reputation as a serious Simon. I'm more of a jokester than you people think. My real name isn't even Ewan, that was a joke it's actually MARTIN! LOL fooled you again, it really is Ewan! Look at that monkey with a big nose, Ewan is so random! XD
I see it pretty often among people who get the train or tube to work (more often tablets than phones I guess, although phones are getting massive now)

I worked for a TV-on-your-cellphone company about 4 years ago and I can assure you the answer to your question is nobody.

I hate the commercials that insist you have instant cloud access to your entire movie library so you can watch anything you want anytime you want.
For example, while sitting on a park bench, watch a movie instead of experiencing a beautiful spring day.
Or on a camping trip during your only vacation of the year with perfect weather, bury your head in your phone instead of talking to your kids or ruminating on a sky full of radiant stars.

In other words, the goal of any patriotic American is to do whatever is necessary to ensure you are constantly entertained 24/7.

I wouldn't read a book on my phone but since Kindle syncs across all devices in a period of major boredom I occasionally read a few pages on my phone.
