They never really designed a product from the ground up with no preconceptions.

Here is an exceedingly rare image, I even doubt others exist. I took it about 20 minutes before iPhone announcement. (look for the monolith)

and creatively, the 1st AppleTV was announced 20 minutes earlier :) so ponder that for awhile :)

I have no idea why the industry would design products that would inspire such negative feelings, but the overwhelming success of the iPhone suggests that Apple’s assessment of the cellphone market pre-2007 was correct.
