iPhone

The iPhone was, in Steve Jobs's opinion, this revolutionary device that would create a whole new way to communicate and in a way change life from that point on.  The idea was that you had a new widescreen iPod with a touchscreen, and a phone with internet capability that was easy to use for the every man  to use and was also able to use the internet and run applications. The way that he presents the aspects of this product make it seem like it will become a necessity in life in the near future for every phone to be made in this way, but it seems to be just the Apple faithful that stick to the idea that the iPhone is the only mobile phone for them.  The idea was interesting at the time but has really stopped being revolutionary in the last few years. The whole market has caught up to the iPhone and in some ways has surpassed the iPhone in certain aspects. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QR8A3T6sPzU This link is for the ad for the Samsung Galaxy S  III, you can see how it is clearly a line of people waiting for the new iPhone and when a couple of people walk by and use a function of their phone that the iPhone doesn't have but the people in line say something like oh well, it'll be on the next one.  This idea of the cult of Mac has caused them to follow Apple at all times, while yes Steve Jobs was a great spokesman and could sell his product but in his absence the product has become stale and stagnant, and more importantly in this stagnation the competition has been allowed to catch up and surpass Apple.
