I find it a little bit funny that the graphic says, “from out of nowhere, smartphones have passed global PC sales.” The slope of both smartphone graphs shifted sharply upward the month the first iPhone was released and haven’t changed since.

Even if PC sales had maintained their trend growth, that only would have delayed the inevitable by a few months.
