L'iPhone fallirà (2007)
Leggere anche solo le prime righe di questo articolo mi ha fatto ridere.
Veniva scritto nel 2007 su Bloomberg:
The iPhone is nothing more than a luxury bauble that will appeal to a few gadget freaks. In terms of its impact on the industry, the iPhone is less relevant.
[…]
(spiegando le ragioni del presuto fallimento) Apple is late to this party. The company didn’t invent the personal computer or MP3 player, but it was among the pioneers of both products. Yet there is no shortage of phones out there. There are already big companies that dominate the space, all of whom will defend their turf. That means Apple will have to fight hard for every sale.
Una lettura divertente, niente di che.
La storia è andata esattamente al contrario come ben sapete.
