A lot of people had smartphones before iPhones. Basically all the 3G phones sold in Europe since 2003. I was working for an operator that got 3 M customers in its first year back then. Had they a touchscreen as good as iPhone's? Definitely not. Did they had an internet connecting better than iPhone's? Definitely yes because the original iPhone was only 2G. Anyway, this is only an analogy so let's don't get too much into it. People don't care about jetpacks because they are crazy dangerous and expensive. This makes them less practical than jumping from a plane with a parachute instead of waiting for it to land.
