> Iphone was made from pretty much what was available to other manufacturers plus some secret software sauce, and was priced like a Blackberry of the time. Neither of these statements is remotely true.

Samsung CPU, samsung oled display, Balda touchscreen analogous to what LG has used previously, Marvell wi-fi, Skyworks cellular, various Intel and Infineon aux chips. $499 vs Blackberry's 8320 at $449. Not even remotely.

  Samsung OLED? iPhone X was first to feature OLED display. Surely you meant LCD?

  The iPhone was also subsidized by Cingular/AT&T at launch. The $449 was the retail cost of the BlackBerry.
