To be fair I want my phone and tv and home computer and… to be really good, not particularly complex.

On the Crackberry Boards, I'm talking in mid to late 2010s when they were still being made, the members derided iPhones for being too simple to use, so simple to use old people could use them.

Um, yeah. It's a phone, not a sacred quest for knowledge.

You have to be Gen-Z.


They absolutely did. I don' think anyone considered palm or windows CE to be "smartphones" despite what they were marketed as. Useless products.

Most professionals at the time would say the blackberry was the first real smartphone and it predates the iphone, too.

Blackberry was an email machine, it wasn't a smartphone. It didn't even have the web on it, only text mobile sites. There was nothing smart about it.


The iphone 3g was the first smart phone, you could make an argument for the OG iphone though.

I get it, you hate apple, but don't come on here and patronize me.


From your own video



THAT IS NOT CNN.COM. That is a specifically formatted mobile site that worked on flip phones, years before blackberry was a thing. That is not a smartphone.

I have an iphone 17.

And the fact you dont think mobile sites were "internet" is quite fascinating.
