Good thing most people carry those around for other purposes. That $1000 tiny computer in their pocket just swallowed yet another thing that was once discrete.

- righthand 2y agoExcept it’s a separate device, so it didn’t swallow it. It’s just an abstraction on an already existing thing. Digital wallets is something that swallowed wallets, for example.
- jajko 2y agoI don't carry around any Apple device, neither do most of people (including various IT folks in various banks) I know. You can't tweak its settings without one.
- cruffle_duffle 2y agoFair. I was more referring to smart phones in general. The argument was “you need a $1000 device for this $200 thing”. But if other manufacturers come out with similar hearing aids, I’d expect most to work with either iOS or android and would require one of the two $1000 devices to work.
