20,000 a day? Anywhere else, these sales figures would look impressive. Apple has a reputation that makes this example the outlier. I did just talk with a friend who told me that the only thing the Apple Watch is good for is vibrating for notifications. More and more, I put my phone away at work and at home because I'm sick of having the weight in my pocket (first world problem, i know). I'd prefer to have something less obtrusive to alert me. Too bad I don't wear watches.
Remember back when phones were smaller than a Texas Instruments graphing calculator? I can't wait until we go back to itty bitty phones. If these things ran 4g with any sort of aplomb I'd totally have one.
Thing is, for most people, a smartphone is less a phone and more a small laptop. I make phone calls about once or twice a month, and text a few times a day at most. I browse the web, listen to audiobooks, take notes, and play games on my phone throughout the day.
