Why You Should Never Make a Major Purchase on Your Phone

Instead, it's wiser to use a laptop for big purchases.

Phones are useful for many things, but there’s a strong argument for avoiding them when making big purchases. In fact, retailers want us to make purchases on our phones because it often leads to more impulse buys. Phone users are also more prone to fall for drip pricing, where the advertised price of something is low but adds up when you get to the final checkout screen. On the other hand, laptops offer a less casual setting, allowing the buyer to focus more and take a pause before making purchases. They also have larger screens, making it easier to compare prices and navigate between tabs.
