If we lived in a better world inhabited by friendly ponies and magic, surely we would have something better to do than stand here with our smartphone or the need to use them.  
This is the real irony.

Yes indeed Pipp! Best get use to it. Also what’s your number? :3
 
[Achktiually] Ponies use Glyphs (like the “chevrons” in Stargate), to “dial” a two-way temporary wormhole between two devices [pataphysics of the same spell Spike & Celestia used for their letters]

To all those saying a touchscreen would never work with hooves… How old are you? Did you not know resistive touchscreens? Yeah, a hoof is a bit big for a screen so small, but in that world, apps would be made specifically thinking of the size of hooves, like not using small buttons, using more gestures, etc. It would be totally possible IMO.

Well, the problem is that today the smartphone, whether we like it or not, is an indispensable object to be part of society and now you can’t live without it, so over time it has become a sort of addiction.  
One thing I liked about Equestria was the fact that ponies didn’t need a smartphone, a computer or social media to socialize or be a part of society, they were so free and carefree without these things…  
It saddens me to think that many ponies now instead of experiencing epic adventures and learning from the world around them are locked up at home chatting on the phone and thinking about their popularity on social media instead of thinking about more important things like true friendship.  
It reminds me too much of the insignificant existence that we are forced to live in reality.  
In an idealized fantasy world like Equestria it’s really a sour note for me.  
On the other hand, if they have included smartphones because they want to treat this as an argument, I think it can be a good thing, although I doubt they will since people are now too fond of these objects to appreciate a negative criticism on them.

Ponies didn’t evolve to use smartphones. If anything it would be a technology for Unicorns
 
Again, as I said in another thread:
 
Seriously, I see people complaining about the fact they have hooves and therefore phones can’t be used, yet nobody complains about the fact that they use keyboards on pianos with those same types of hooves.

They’d have to make sure to moderate it. Haha
