This article has a really weird way of presenting the statistic. Wouldn't it be equally right to say that most people even those who choose to ultimately return the device found it intuitive?
Doesn't the data kind of say the opposite of the title?
The first iPhone was slick but sucked as a smartphone. Heck, it couldn't even send MMS, copy-paste, gps and the camera can't even record a video! People looking to replace their Symbian or Windows Mobile smartphones would of course be disappointed by the lack of apps and customizations.
To be fair, the first iPhone did kinda suck in many ways, especially shortly after launch. Only the 2nd or 3rd generation had most of the basics in place.
The Iphone was a good idea, though.
I just don't see it taking over the world in such quick fashion as the phone. Like VR I think it will remain a niche
Exactly. Well.... not exactly as that particular story was very particular indeed.
But it was what I meant. I don't think the goggles will have the same effect, even you in your prime tauting them.
Well I didn't really doubt it, as it's way too specific to have been made up and it's fun to imagine, but with goggles on, lol. Thnx for sharing!
Which is why I think Apple is really trying to make this an AR/VR type device. I think that AR will gain much more popularity out of the two.
I don't see it
