This might say more about the quality of modern apps than the power of the iPhone lol.


Absolutely does. But it would definitely keep you away from switching between 13 Slack groups!


It's funny, I'm on a Delta flight right now with bad wifi and a few minutes ago I was thinking about how slow internet access completely changes my browsing habits to be more deliberate.

Example from a few seconds ago: I frequently click into HN user's profile pages when I read an interesting comment from them as I scroll past. At home, it loads ~instantly even on 5G. But when it takes 5-7 seconds to load one, you get a lot more thoughtful about navigating your browser.

There's definitely something interesting about intentionally downgrading your own experience in targeted ways.
