I think of my iPhone as a phone plus a mobile browser plus a biometric device. It has a lot of memory and a lot of compute power but that is just because all the crap sites and apps out there, unnecessary animations, etc. One could also claim that a phone is a mobile gaming device, although that is not my thing.

Biometrics is the feature that confers all the power to Apple and Google. All sorts of shady things can be done in the name of security and privacy.

The internet would be a much better place if browsing and biometrics were done in different devices.
