Their point was that nobody knew they wanted an iPhone back then.
Why would I want a gimped web browser on LTE data rate when I have a laptop with Wi-fi?
Why pay all that money for what is just a phone?
Does this make better calls than a beater 3310? No? So what’s the point?
Back then the most feature packed phones were either some psuedo-gaming device, or a Sony Ericsson you acquired from Japan with no warranty and likely region locking.
I can’t just pull out my laptop at my shitty gas station job I had as a teen in 2007… I wanted an upgrade from my fucking slide phone’s shit browser. There was a huge market for it already. People KNEW they wanted it and it delivered.
Nobody had a demand for an iPhone before it was released. People just wanted a better Nokia
what? i absolutely wanted a cell phone with a decent web browser on it in 2007, are you high?
My phone did have a browser, but you had to type in using the numbers. What I really wanted was a phone with a bigger physical keyboard
