If I have read the documentation correct all content is loaded and bits are then hidden depending where you want them to show,
The same classes are in bootstrap so it stands to reason joomla 3 has adopted the same strategy,
the downside of this is that there is now unwanted bits being loaded where they have no need to be, making a mobile site much heavier than it needs to be,
why when the media classes are hit are you not disabling rather than hiding?
for a module un-published-phone would be much better than hidden-phone

This is all part of the Bootstrap, which is implemented in J3 and our new Gantry.
In the Bootstrap documentation they do not recommend creating completely different content for each device size using the classes. The main benefit of responsive designs is that you don't have to do that. The classes are meant to resize the existing content, not load three different versions and show only one. Which class is used comes from the media query based on the screen size.When to use (Responsive Utility Classes):
Use on a limited basis and avoid creating entirely different versions of the same site. Instead, use them to complement each device's presentation.Use media queries responsibly and only as a start to your mobile audiences. For larger projects, do consider dedicated code bases and not layers of media queries.twitter.github.com/bootstrap/scaffolding.html - The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.
