Web browsing, editing spreadsheets, viewing photos and videos. Occasionally running 2 things aside by side. Reading a book too. I didn't have my eReader to hand so opened the phone, loaded my reader app, and read a few chapters. I also have an app for displaying music. I generally use a tablet, but I now have everything backed up onto the phone because I could use the phone in a pinch. The tablet is bigger (14"), but the music is very readable on this too.

It's about collection also. You can't collect without consent. "Opt out"-type consent is illegal. Only data you need for the service you are providing can be collected (you can't collect data "just in case it'll be handy in the future"). Lots of stuff like that. None of this would be legal under GDPR. And the fines would be huge too, typically calculated as a percentage of revenue (not profit!).

Is this like the BMW debacle where they sell you the hardware for the heated seats, but charge you extra to allow you to turn them on? So not a discount, because they are already selling you the hardware (like, they aren't giving it to you for free, it's already included in the manufacturing costs of the car!).
