The market definitely decided this... Even before internet access was common on phones, or phone cameras were decent, the requests were for better cameras on phones. Because the camera you're more likely to use is the one you have with you. You're more likely to have your phone than a separate camera, and photos are often a matter of opportunity.
- jrflowers 2y agoThis makes sense because “the market” rather than a handful of cellular companies decided that people want LTE connectivity to be expensive and relegated to phones
- awad 2y agoCell companies will sell connectivity to whoever will buy it though. Cars, watches, and anything IoT they can get their signal to.

- awad 2y agoAnecdotally, I've seen it closer to $10/month for car or smartwatch, and $0 for Kindle though I'm not entirely sure if they're still shipping cellular. Tablets are closer to that $20-$30, though.
