Ok but the iPhone also launched with Edge connectivity, no copy/paste, web apps only (no App Store), barely made it a day on a charge, etc. We think the iPhone is great today almost entirely because of Apple’s iteration since launch. The initial model had promise but also major shortcomings that were obvious at the time. So “remember the iPhone” is probably not as strong a reassurance as it might seem on the surface. In general, Apple “version 1” products are often flawed. But Apple generally does not launch a product unless it intends to iterate on it for a long time (one of their not-so-secret keys to success).
