Apple iPhone "destined for failure"

It’s a good time today to remember Al, Laura Ries and the gems of their wisdom.

The marketing consultants predicted [1, 2, 3, 4] a year ago:

  • “The iPhone will do a lot of things but it will do nothing well. And that is why it is destined for failure” and
  • “If the iPod is the biggest success of the 21st century then iPhone is likely to be the biggest flop of the 21st century.”

Disqualifying.

Apple New generation of iPods

“Today isn’t a good day to be a Zune fan, that’s for sure. Why? Because Apple unleashed a new wave of iPods today, and they’re every bit as impressive as I was fearing they’d be. This was no simple product refresh with memory bumps and price drops — no, this is a whole new generation of iPods.” Zunethoughts.com [via DF]

Apple Ries on iPhone

Al and Laura Ries in their mysterious anti-iPhone crusade [1, 2, 3, 4]: “The iPhone will do a lot of things but it will do nothing well. And that is why it is destined for failure” and “If the iPod is the biggest success of the 21st century then iPhone is likely to be the biggest flop of the 21st century.” Strong words, bold predictions. One comment reads “Ries, you’re dated.”
