If "the phone makes them look" (via dark patterns or whatever), then everyone with an phone (or specifically iPhone according to the gibberish of the blog post)

If "the phone makes them look" (via dark patterns or whatever), then everyone with an phone (or specifically iPhone according to the gibberish of the blog post) would surely have them out all the time whilst walking, commuting, etc. But they don't. Even on my currently limited interactions with the outside world, I see most people not staring down at a phone whilst walking. Even on a bus, where it's much safer to have your phone out (London still suffers from opportunist phone grabbers), it's nowhere near 100%. [Caveat: I am not on all buses at all times, there may be buses where it hits 100%]
