TechRadar's Quote of the Day Turns to Steve Jobs on Touchscreens and Tired Arms

TechRadar's quote of the day quotes Steve Jobs: after extended touchscreen use, "your arm wants to fall off."

The published item gives no date, venue or transcript for the remark and does not identify which device or screen Jobs was discussing. It also does not say whether the comment was made publicly or privately, and it draws no connection between the quotation and any specific Apple product or announcement.

The rest of the item is a biography of the contributor, Keumars Afifi-Sabet, described as a freelance contributor for TechRadar and technology editor for Live Science. According to the biography, he has written for publications including ITPro, The Week Digital and ComputerActive and worked as a technology journalist for more than five years, previously serving as features editor at ITPro, where he oversaw commissioning and publishing of long-form work in areas including AI, cyber security, cloud computing and digital transformation.

The biography states that Afifi-Sabet is an NCTJ-qualified journalist who began in journalism at university, studying biomedical sciences at Queen Mary, University of London while working in student media. After graduating, he freelanced for local and national publications including The Independent, The Observer and Metro, and his work was commended in the "Top Scoop" category of the 2017 NCTJ awards. He is also registered as a foundational chartered manager with the Chartered Management Institute, having qualified as a Level 3 team leader with distinction in 2023.

TechRadar's item offers no assessment of the quotation beyond presenting it, and does not address the ergonomic questions that touchscreen input raises for laptop and tablet users.
