You think we haul 30" phones around in the foreseeable future?

You don't need the tv for the surround sound, the speakers fit inside tiny devices you can put near each ear.

You can stream your video call to a TV right now, and spatial sound could help match the movement of the people on screen if the phone was stationary for a more immersive call.

No need to haul anything around, just some creative thinking.

No, clearly we walk around with full 5.1 surround sound speakers on poles.
