Sorry, but many, many people actually loved and bought other smartphones before Apple.
Apple stands on the shoulders of giants like Nokia, Palm and Blackberry (aka Crackberry).
- kahawe 14y agoI know. That's why I said: the modern smartphone. I have used a couple of those you mentioned and they just weren't the same. I doubt they even remotely pushed the kind of crazy numbers Apple and Androids are seeing each year now.
- WayneDB 14y agoYes, but that's also why I said that they didn't "create" the modern smartphone. Everything that they "created" already existed before they came along. There's no doubt that they packaged things very nicely and have been very successful, but it's not as if they created this market out of thin air. They surely did not invent the general concept that they've been so successful implementing.
- kahawe 14y agoThe market for smartphones you see now? Teens, kids, moms and everyone else? Yes, they created that. And they created the package, granted out of existing technologies but the package does matter.
