Their point was that nobody knew they wanted an iPhone back then.
- Why would I want a gimped web browser on LTE data rate when I have a laptop with Wi-fi?
- Why pay all that money for what is just a phone?
- Does this make better calls than a beater 3310? No? So what’s the point?
Back then the most feature packed phones were either some psuedo-gaming device, or a Sony Ericsson you acquired from Japan with no warranty and likely region locking.

My phone did have a browser, but you had to type in using the numbers. What I really wanted was a phone with a bigger physical keyboard
