Which timeline? You said that things stayed relatively the same between 2005 and 2015. Then that change was way more between 1995 and 2001, and 2017 and 2025. Then said that iPhone is in the timeline of between 1995 and 2001, or 2017 and 2025, and it was released in 2007. So it’s clearly not in your timeline, and it’s ridiculous that I need to explain this this detailed, that no, your timeline and your dates don’t line up at all. Also give me examples for what you mean larger changes between 1995 and 2001, and 2017 and 2025 for the general populace. That’s because I did everything what I can do now with a smartphone on my dumb phone in 2002, doesn’t mean that people’s life was changed that much, especially that nobody thought that I’m continuously online in 2001, for example.
Also once again, the general populace didn’t call, and doesn’t call those smartphones. I had a P900, and exactly zero people used the word “smartphone” back then, except marketing people. You remember terribly wrong, if you think otherwise. Also smartphone penetration skyrocketed not in 2007, but between 2013 and 2015. In 2010-2011, I was still considered early adopter. In 2015, half of internet users came from a phone. So no, that change didn’t happen before 2005, no matter how you want to distort reality.
