  • Cheers to the iPhone

    I remember 10, 9, 8, 7 years ago here where people in these parts would rip on the iPhone, say it was inferior to Android devices, etc.

    The iPhone just turned 10 yesterday. It is the most successful and most influential product ever released. It is one of the few products that has generated over 1,000,000,000,000 in revenue, and 400-500B in profit.

    It is very rare to see something fundamentally change the world. I am very glad it was a company that I hold near and dear that did it.

    Apple had amazing product introductions before the iPhone, and it’s had a few good ones after. But the iPhone was the only product introduction that felt *impossible*.


    It may be a very long time before we see another product change the world like this. If I had to guess, I would bet on Augmented Reality being the next frontier with a product that comes close.

    Why can't we just have one infomercial thread in the RR? Why do they have to proliferate like a cancer all over the room?

      Hard to get a circle jerk going when you're the only one in the room.
