Think people will look back at Tesla the same way?
Spent the morning reading hot takes about the launch of the iPhone. A *lot* of people were pessimistic. Nearly everyone was just plain wrong. The winner has to be the people that grew concerned about Apple cannibalizing its biggest product line - the iPodpic.twitter.com/SHOELiPXXe

I called it an evolution, not a revolution, on MSNBC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvILRue Yup, I sound dumb. WTF did I know anyway, I was like 12.

I was convinced that Apple couldn't pull off shrinking OS X onto a phone... Because all the Very Smart Nokia Engineers had told me: "A mobile OS and its APIs must be designed to save battery life and memory!" (Implicitly: "We just don't care about UX or developer convenience")

Is the iPhone the most revolutionary innovation since the industrial revolution?
-
Nope ITunes is without it the whole 21st century Apple revolution doesn't happen
-
That same logic can be applied to every technology that went into the iPhone lol
-
Of course but IPhone was just the natural evolution of the iPod which was completely based around the ITunes platform

I dug up some old threads on MacRumors from when the iPod was announced. My favorite hot take was “Why do I need an iPod? I already have a portable CD player and a CD burner”

To a certain degree I think people did/do miss physical keyboards, but something like Swype exceeds the experience of physical keyboards on mobile.
-
I missed the physical keyboards at first, because I made more typos, but as autocorrect became better and better the problem became much less important

My favorite thing was Blackberry straight up thinking that Apple was lying.

Steve Jobs understood that the iPod would eventually be disrupted, so he was going to do it rather than leave it to someone else. All technology has a life span, incumbents often try to hold on to product, rather than focusing on the customer long term. Apple does this well.

Makes you wonder what breaking news of 2018 will also be just as laughable 10 years from now
