It was too expensive for me so I bought an “open box, as new condition” one for $1,100 (£850). It was a risk but it really has been as new condition and I’m super happy with it. It has been a life changer because everything is easier with a larger screen (particularly the keyboard!) and having one device is so much more convenient than syncing and carrying two.

A lot of the cheaper used models have marks on the outside of the phone, but if you’re using a case then it’s a non-issue because the case covers them up. As long as the screens are fine.

Once the Fold 5 comes out in a few weeks even a new Fold 4 will hopefully be cheaper.

I thought they restored all the edited comments? Maybe I’ll give it a go then.

Google Tasks is effectively unavoidable if you use Google products.

I had no idea it existed…

My Sony WH1000-XM3s started turning themselves off after a few years. Their noise cancelling is probably better than others but I can’t say they’ve been reliable.

A noise generator (LectroFan). I live in a noisy area (Friday/Saturday nights) and the machine completely blocks out all sound. It is more comfortable for me than wearing earplugs or headphones.

Similarly noise-cancelling headphones made a HUGE difference to my life but they’re a bit more than $100. Still recommended for anyone thinking about it.

I have a small shoulder bag but feel the same. In UK weather having a thin rolled up coat is indispensible, a water bottle, wet wipes, headphones, mobile battery, lozenges, basic medication, bottle opener etc. Comes in handy. Men have pockets sure but there’s only so much you can stuff in there.

The only problem is when it gets cold enough that I might need a pullover but might not. A bigger bag might be useful.
