What's the most important thing you'd miss if you lost your phone?

FACETIME
That's why I have an Iphone for the past 5 years. My Grandson. There was a time, in early pandemic, where I was not able to see him for several weeks, which seemed like forever. FaceTime was my life saver. We FaceTime several times a week, so I "see" him almost every day. The best times, of course, are being with him, but what a fabulous substitute.

My parents would love FaceTime.
 
I have an Iphone... I wouldn't miss anything much except for people's phone numbers.. because I don't keep any bank details on my phone, and all the photos I take automatically download to my Mac.. so aside from having to fork out for another phone I wouldn't really miss much
 

All of my health apps are on my phone and that is how I track changes and (hopefully) improvements in my heart and kidney health, as well as what I am eating and my exercise each day.
I mostly use my iPad for contacting and messaging with my family and friends, but do use the phone when I am away from home and need to message someone.

I also use my phone as my only camera, so I would miss that if I lost the phone. And my Apple Watch connects with it, so overall, my phone is pretty important in my life, even if I seldom use it for actual phone calls.

Very little. Not used for online financial transactions except for travel with my credit card that does not store anything special on the device. Have a single encrypted file with a long password, no hacker could do anything with. Not many phone contacts and none are sensitive. Main issue would be just the hassle of building up a new phone and web links. Also have a second AT&T phone that is inactivated and would just require visiting a nearby AT&T office to re-activate.
 
lost my 3 month old Apple phone a year or so ago. almost all my stuff (photos, contacts, etc) was backed up to the cloud so restoring it all to the new phone was pretty easy. I don't remember what might have been lost.

But since then, every time I visit that Lowe's store, I kinda peek around where I parked that day, you know, just in case....
 
I also have an iPhone and would miss having a camera, I use it a lot. Also there's a game (Skip-Bo) I just love on my phone that I can no longer play on my computer, I'm still working on trying to fix it.

Yeah, that's me
 
I don't really use my phone for much. I don't do any type of business, or have any apps down loaded.
Nor do I post pictures online from my phone.

I mainly would keep it for emergencies while driving.

Well it's less than a year old and cost me $968, so that would sting. All the data, settings and updates are backed up to my Google drive regularly, so no problem there. I can access everything on my other computers that's on my phone. I'd probably stick my spare SIM card into my previous phone, which would fill the void until I could order a replacement Pixel 7 Pro.
 
I don't have a phone! When I worked, I was on call 24/7. Now I am never on call...SMILE.

I laugh at all the folks going around with their noses in their phones while life passes them buy. Even young adults on dates will set at a table eating dinner on a date and never talk, just looking at those stupid phones and typing with their fingers. I suppose they are texting each other.....???
 
OMG!!!!! Lose my iphone!!!!!!!!!
I've only had my 13 a couple of years. But I'm thoroughly a convert to iPhones. I'd be lost without one. I just couldn't go back to the days when I wasn't able to find out the annual rainfall in Ghana in 7 seconds. No way!!!!!!!!
 
I use my iPhone for everything. I only use my computer to type reports for work. I have a code and Face ID on it so no one could use it and everything is backed up to the cloud.
