When "you can't use it outside anyhow" expands to phones, which are only useful because you can take them outside.

You couldn't really always phones outside until they switched to OLED because you couldn't see the screens in sunlight. They were still popular though.

I wish transflective LCDs were a thing on phones.

Its kind of funny--my GPS's LCD screen gets /more/ readable in sunlight.
