Perhaps Jobs didn't appreciate the full extent to which their product would transform humanity, but that is not necessarily the same thing as him not wanting, or opposing, us using our iPhones as much as we do.

I understand the desire for a backlash on smartphones, but their ubiquity is simply a demonstration of just how much utility we derive from them.

I don't think ubiquity necessarily implies utility. Was the ubiquity of cigarettes a demonstration of how much utility we derived from them?
