That is correct, there was a pre-established market that refused to advance (check the Sony Ericsson smartphones before the iPhone), same with the iPod. Once they got a product with market breaking features, it became a global phenomenon. I wonder what current markets are held down due to lack of imagination or greed.
I mean, they reduced battery life from 5 days to 1 and told everyone to suck it up, so there’s that’s.
For what you got on exchange at the time it was worth it, imo. Battery technology is still holding technology back.
I’d say the opposite - what you got at the time was not worth it. The first iPhone didn’t even do email if I remember correctly.
We might say it’s worth now, but even that bus because of the ecosystem and other technologies improving around it .
