gollark: For me, at least, it would be *worse* than a mediocre Android phone, since it would be more annoying to use ssh/mosh to access my server when I need to fix things, and generally worse to test things on portably.
gollark: I have learned by now that the bare minimum is not very good, having bought somewhat less RAM for my laptop than I should even though the price difference wasn't big and generated untold annoyance over time, but iPhones are quite far into diminishing returns territory.
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.
