gollark: I guess it depends on what you're comparing against pricewise.
gollark: iPhones are quite expensive, so if you value your time at $50/hour (this might be low, I'm not really sure), it would probably take a few years for the iPhone to pay off, but it could actually come out in favour if it does in fact save that much time.
gollark: I don't get anything like that on my *£120* Android phone from recently, except in Discord, in which the keyboard is occasionally ridiculously laggy due to what I assume is bad design on their end.
gollark: (very fermi estimation, but it's probably not THAT many orders of magnitude out)
gollark: If we assume you open the keyboard, I don't know, 50 times a day, and it takes 0.5 seconds each time, this is 25 seconds a day, or 144 days for it to cost an hour of time.
