Japan ran out the first commercial cellular network in 1979 and was responsible for 1000s of innovations that left the US industy and cell phones for dead, including the first commercial app store and “iTunes” in 2000 and 2001 respectively. Not to mention the Europeans. Your infographic is a display of your blistering ignorance of the topic.

This whole infographic is bunk.

I wonder if you can go a step further with this one…the link to savings.com goes to a discount coupon/shopping site and I’m not sure where to navigate from there. Thanks for an eye-opening story, btw. It’s kinda scary to see a slice of how much I’ve spent on mobile tech in the last 25 years or so. Yike!

The iPhone has never run OS X. It runs iOS. iOS and OS X, if memory serves, share some code. That’s where it stops. Stick with sources that are more tech savy and more accurate than savings.com please.
