I remember a joke in Homestar Runner[0] in 2006 about Pom Pom making a movie on his phone. At the time it was maybe just barely possible. Some people were watching very limited movies or movie clips on their phones. A few years later, people were doing video calls and streaming to the internet.
So yes, there was a period of time where the iPod and digital cameras and other gadgets were tethered the PC. Picasa was a desktop app for years before google photos; but now everything is on the cloud. I've never connected my current phone to a computer. (I did with my previous one, but that was for app development and debugging).

STRONG BAD: Originally, tellular cellaphones {indicating Pom Pom's phone} were for sending misspelled messages to your friends, telling them where you are in the food court.
POM POM: {makes a few bubbling noises directed at Strong Bad, then resumes his conversation}
STRONG BAD: Pom Pom just bought movie tickets with his cell phone!
POM POM: {looks annoyed and makes more bubbling noises}
STRONG BAD: Oh, he just watched a movie on his cell phone!
POM POM: {looks angry at Strong Bad, makes more bubbling noises}
STRONG BAD: Oh oh oh! Pom Pom just wrote, directed, produced, and distributed a movie with his cell phone!
POM POM: {answers an incoming call and makes a few more bubbling noises}
STRONG BAD: ...and he just got into Sundance! High-five, brother!
