This article uses a necessary and confusing description of smartphones as devices that "feature metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) integrated circuit (IC) chips...". First of all, almost all ICs are fabricated using MOS and almost all consumer electronic devices utilize ICs (including non-smart cell phones). This description treats MOS ICs as a distinguishing feature of smartphones, which they are not.
The article returns to this definition and quality later in the article too when describing the hardware, where a Smartphone's IC's are further explained as containing billions of transistors. Again, this is just a general quality of many ICs and not unique to smartphones and best removed to be better explained on the IC wiki page.
Lastly, Integrated Circuits are chips, and chips are Integrated Circuits; "Integrated Circuit chips" or "IC chips" is redundant and non-standard terminology. I'd go with "Integrated Circuits", "ICs" for short. ReviewerTheBruce (talk) 11:04, 12 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

The page mentions at Section of Health Effects:
"It has also been theorized that for some users, addiction to use of their phones, especially before they go to bed, can result in "ego depletion"."
It quotes a line from a certain old article from 12 years ago with the citation mentioning, stating a particular theory which is outdated, apparently unrelated to the linked wiki for "ego depletion" and not upto the standard for modern use. It's not theorized generally as the page mentions it. I request that this content could be deleted. Tommy1233 (talk) 03:28, 9 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
