If you can get by with 4G, you can take a look at the Punkt. MP02.

Five years, actually, here in Norway. Technically two years, and five if the product is meant to last appreciably longer than two years. But that is true for most things except wearable electronics like earbuds.
I mean, I’ve been playing about 100 hours of Baldur’s Gate 3 on my M1 MacBook Pro, on the ultra preset. It runs just fine, and the machine barely gets hot while being nearly quiet. In fact, it is a very pleasant gaming experience!
Could the game run better on a dedicated gaming PC? Sure! Does it need to? Nah, not for me. The fact that I can play on the couch while my SO watches something else is worth a lot more than some extra FPS, to me.

I’m honestly not sure that I agree. Full speed USB 3.2/Thunderbolt cables are expensive, and 99.9 % of users will only ever use the supplied cable for charging. The ones who want to do cable transfers at high speed will probably already have the cable they need.
Limiting the speed of the *port * of the non-Pro models is worse, but likely also a cost-cutting decision that will have little impact on the vast majority of users.
It would be interesting to know how many of the competitors’ phones offer high speed data transfer through the USB port (I honestly don’t know, but would like to).
The port on the ~phone~ Pro model supports transfer speeds up to 20 or 40 gbps, it’s just the supplied charging cable that is limited to USB 2.0 speeds. If you use a thunderbolt cable you will get full speed and a full feature set.
Edit: Seems like I was wrong; only the Pro models get full speed. That’s kinda shitty, yeah. Unfortunately still in spec, as the mandate is only for the form factor, not the protocol.
Well, the answer has lots of numbers. So it checks out, I guess?
