I interpret them slightly differently. IMO, most seem to show a preceding trend followed by trailing acceleration. One (I believe it was the Teen Sex graph) shows a steady trendline with no point-in-time correlation whatsoever.
You could put a line almost anywhere on those graphs labelled "iPhone" and it'd be about as compelling.
Take the line out and I absolutely agree that something that was going on for at least a decade prior to about 2010 seems to have sped up. But the iPhone line feels entirely artificial and, IMO, undermines the impact of those visuals.
