I (29F) hung out with a guy (26M) I've been talking to for a while, everything was going well until he pulled out his phone

So this guy and I have been talking to each other for a while now, I would say a couple of months total. He and I have a lot in common and we're both attracted to each other - what more could you ask for?

I hadn't seen him for almost two months and I really was excited to hang out with him. I drove an hour to hang out and only had a couple of hours to do so. Things were going well and we seemed to be vibing, but then he pulled out his cellphone and everything started to go downhill very quickly.

We were attempting to watch a TV show, and I ordered us some dinner, but he would NOT get off his phone. I'm talking about at least 60% of the time we were together, he was on his phone, doing god knows what, while I awkwardly sat on his bed waiting for him to make a move...or something.

It got so bad that I was considering just grabbing the food once it was delivered and just leaving, but I wanted to see if maybe he would get the hint and put his phone away. Nope!

Even though I was literally hiding in the bathroom at one point for 20 minutes, talking to my friends, asking if I should just leave...he still didn't get it. I took my phone out too and started texting. The food arrived, we ate, he was STILL on his phone, so I excused myself to the bathroom once again and made up my mind to leave if I came back to his room and he was still on his phone.

When I opened the door, he was on his phone still, so I grabbed my stuff and announced that I was leaving. He seemed somewhat shocked since I was leaving almost an hour early, and offered to walk me out to my car. I told him I was fine, and made my way over to my car. Once I got in, I sent him a text since I was too afraid to te him in person, and basically just said, it was really rude for you to be on your phone most of the time when I had driven quite a distance to come see you.

He apologized, and said he knew he had a problem with it. I told him I did too, which is why I put my phone away when I hang out with people. He apologized again but I'm pretty sure I should just walk away at this point. Is this enough to stop seeing someone?

Tldr: Drove an hour to see a guy I've been talking to for a while, he's super cute and we have a lot in common. It's been a while since I saw him last, and we enjoyed the time spent together when he WASN'T on his phone. Problem is, he was on his phone most of the time and wouldn't get the hint that it was ruining the evening, so I just packed up and left. Is this enough to stop seeing someone over? I really like him and haven't met anyone I have so much in common with, and he's quite a catch, but I felt like it was incredibly disrespectful for him to basically ignore me after I drove so long to see him. He did apologize and said it was a problem he was aware of, but that feels like an excuse.
