Please kill me. :)
Cloud desktops are going to be mainstream long before phone desktops will be a thing, at least at the rate Apple is moving.
Microsoft appear to be moving this way as well with the recent Windows 365 announcement [1]. I tried self-hosting my own cloud desktop a few years ago on a raspi, and was blown away by how much work I could get done remoting in from my phone or old laptop, not to mention the seamless transition when switching clients.

Yeah, if you perform a migration to a newly bought iPhone, you'll see they have this nailed down.
Just needs to be an instant thing now.
Scan your retina and have the screens broadcast your zero latency always on desktop running in the cloud that seamlessly updates, never has to stop or reboot and backs up every single interaction you have done in the past decade.
The screens turn off and disconnect as you walk away and reconnect to your phone (now merely a pocket-screen) with all applications adapting to whatever size of the screen.
Oh and of course your earbuds have been connected the whole time broadcasting any audio that might be playing in the desktop without interruption.
