From what I have heard it depends on the mobile provider. Some have daily limit around 10+ GB. But that seems quite reasonable. I have monthly 10GB 4G for my phone and I have never hit it. I've heard stories after a screw up the mobile provider gave unlimited 4G for a year and the guy used it as his internet at his home.

In EU (the Netherlands) you can get 4G unlimited for phone for about 20$. I live with my friend hosts his own server for backups and home cinema.

For movies/tv shows/games we probably spend few TB a month.

I had never heard about such thing until now, it's ridiculous to have cap and I'm so glad that I don't have to live in such a place.

So you mean universal application? That's how nuxt.js/next.js works

I had never even heard about this product until just now. I guess it was just too irrelevant.

> Many places I've been won't let you buy a SIM without showing id.

You don't need to show any ID in Europe to buy non-contract phone number. You can go into most stores and get free or pay 1-5 euro for a phone number.

> To be fair, Apple already does this. If you buy a refurbished Apple device, you are essentially getting an iPhone with slightly worse packaging.

This is not the same, because the device will still be Apple with the same design and logo. But the article is making different point that if Apple would sell also yPhone with same technical specs and slightly different design and half the price then it would be outragous.

P.S. They are paying that price the same reason why they pay 20x more for university than Europeans. It is the system that they live in.
