Combine this with an unlimited data plan and it's almost obvious that it is inevitable. We are becoming more and more reliant on smartphones for our daily life, for example carrying a covid pass, using it as a payment device, communication, navigation, etc. We are very close to have smartphones as much a necessary accessory to life in the modern world as a bank account, a car or keys to your house. And for a lot of people Apple is only cutting the middle man with smartphones often being payed through expensive mobile carrier contracts anyway.
