Apple did what I want BlackBerry to do
- Produced, not producted... good job on keep writing in English though, you will get better post by post.
Apple did what they think was the right for the market and they were right, once, maybe twice, and they got paid.
But at the same time more than 90% of the companies did what they thought were right for the market and failed miserably. BlackBerry was one of them.
What Chen did with Priv is to test the market and decide what to do next. This approach is by no mean heroic, but it's how most of the technology companies succeed with limited resources.

I think the heroic heart is always there. Sometimes,if you find the right answer,others will find out it is the right answer.
I think the popularity of four-inch iphones was not that obvious.
I am Chinese.My English is not good.I write it all by myself.03-23-16 01:37 AMLike 0 - Maybe.
I remember talking to dozens of people who were whining about the iP6 being "too big" back when they had a 5 or 5s. At least half of those people are now carrying a 6+/6S+, and the others a 6/6S. And all of them have said they would never go back - they now "understand" why people wanted big screens.
The iPhone 5 was popular because it was the only choice at the time. Now that larger screens exist, I think that Apple is going to find that the SE will be much more of a niche product. Many people say they would prefer a smaller phone, but not that many will actually pay for it. At least, not those around me (SF Bay Area, California).
Maybe it will be popular in Asia or something - I dunno. But if my experience is any indication, it would be a flop here.03-23-16 04:09 AMLike 0 - That's fine. The screen is large enough. I watch livestreaming TV on my Passport every day. If I want the big screen, I connect it to an external HDMI monitor and it adjusts flawlessly to the 9:16 form factor.03-23-16 04:30 AMLike 0

- It's funny because large phones are the rage in most developing markets, including China. Even the huge and expensive iPhone 6S+ is popular there, along with Xiaomi, Samsung and Huawei phablets. I guess it's only in the US and Western European markets where people now want a small communications tool instead of a pocket do-everything computer that barely fits in a pocket.
For me, I thought huge phones were pointless - until I tried one. I've tried the massive Sony Z Ultra and that thing's 6.4" screen would be perfect for me, if it weren't for the ancient internals. My current phone has a 5.5" screen and I think there's room for some expansion03-24-16 12:29 AMLike 0 - It's funny because large phones are the rage in most developing markets, including China.

And I think, that Apple is not cool. They have a lots of security and usability problems. iTunes become a giant combination of functions that is almost impossible to use. Mac OS X, that I remember from the beginning turn in to a complete Windows alike s!!t. I was an Apple fanboy for a long time, I use to work at Apple for a while and now I must admit, that it's almost no difference between Mac OS and Windows. Apple's hardware seriously suks, man. The MacBooks Pro that were the best laptops in the world now turn in to a glamorous crap that no every professional would choose.
Let's talk about Nvidia or Oculus, who have made much more advanced products that just can't work with Apple OS's. And so on, and so on. I think that Apple is slightly turning in to a Balmer's era Microsoft.

This days they just catching consumers on the good marketing, but that's only with overpriced electronics, that I need to mention looks solid, but hope it's not going to last too long. Google making a good products, HTC do the same, even Microsoft finally gave birth for two solid and more or less convenient OS created one after anoter. Anyway, there were the times when Apple did really good computer devices. Not anymore, though.

- The difference is there is probably enough users for Apple to make this and make another 100 billion versus the 7 BlackBerry users that wants this with Blackberry and would buy it.03-24-16 05:49 PMLike 0
- Ha, you are not too far off! The slider on the "wrong" end of a phone that size must come across as too bulky to some. Let them try that on a smaller phone and let's see how that sells.03-24-16 05:57 PMLike 0
