I think the biggest difference is how your phone listens and learns without you even noticing. It tracks what you search for, what you skip, what you stay on longer, and even what time of day you’re most active. I read something like https://bdjosh.com/why-your-phone-gets-you-better-than-your-tv-ever-will/ a while ago, and it made total sense. The phone constantly adapts, while the TV just waits for input. I’ve customized my phone so it basically feels like an extension of me. For example, I set my playlists to shift from chill music in the morning to upbeat tracks during workouts, and I use apps that mix entertainment with learning. My TV just can’t do that. Even when I use streaming apps on it, the experience is so clunky — I have to search manually, and there’s no sense of connection. On my phone, everything feels smooth, like the system actually pays attention. I think it’s because phones are built around interaction. TVs are for watching; phones are for living with. Once I realized that, I stopped expecting my TV to “get me” and just leaned into what my phone could do.
