iPhone
Who can forget the terrible reviews that came before the massively hyped iPhone launch? In this case, some reviewers were devastatingly wrong saying that the iPhone would flop. TechCrunch was one of them, noting that cracked screens would plague the glass device. AdAge also predicted the iPhone would fail, saying that do-it-all devices have historically been snake oil. And we can’t forget The Street saying the contract was too expensive, costing over $2,000 over the two years. The iPhone did prove to be a massive success, truly becoming a world-changing convergent device. The phone was expensive, and the screens did break, but that ultimately didn’t matter.
