Yes, but only to the couple players who aren't on their phone.
I have no data to base that on but to me it feels like people call the clock significantly less than they did in the pre-phone days. At least in raked cash games.
Just personally, I remember 10 years ago I was often staring at my watch while somebody tanked. Wondering at what point I should call for the clock if nobody else did. The last couple of years, I've been doing what almost everybody else does, texting and surfing without having any idea how much time really passed. Including situations where somebody tanks while in a hand with me, unless the room has a policy against phone use while you have cards.
