It's been interesting to me to see that despite staying at home all the time due to the corona virus, my smart phone usage hasn't really dropped off. I would have expected to be spending more time on my laptop, but it seems like there is something compelling about the medium.

I have a massive AppleTV about 10ft away from where I’m sitting. Just a few more feet away a kindle and an iPad, and just down the stairs my laptop and PC sitting on my desk. Yet I’ve been squinting at content on my phone the past hour or so. Is it just convenience/laziness?

My usage has increased so much I have considered getting a battery case!
I have two young kids at home, so I am doing stuff all the time on my phone. I can use my iPhone to check in on work while giving them a bath or watching them play outside and can give feedback to my team. Our mobile tools have become so powerful that you can get a lot done on them. I have a 5K iMac with 72 GB of ram, but I spend most of my days on a phone or a tablet.
People are doing all kinds of things on their phones, including applying for jobs and getting government services.
The only thing I think Jobs might have been wrong on is the mix. The smartphone has become so powerful that the mix of smartphones to tablets is probably not what be predicted.
