3D TVs sales once rose sharply too and now they’re dead. I laughed at those back then too. Samsung sold ~10M foldable phones in the same time Apple sold ~240M iPhones. It might be a success to Samsung but it’s a drop in the bucket overall. The first wave of people that buy them will realize it’s a gimmick and sales will drop after equilibrium between marketing reach and consumer dissatisfaction is reached.

Yes, going from 0 to 5 is how new innovative products work. The iPhone you keep dragging out didn't sell all that great either - the shipment were counted in millions (not tens of millions you quite for Samsung) during first years of them as well.

I frankly find your aggressive tone here utterly bizarre - why do you so strongly need to defend Apple here? Can you explain that?

Why do you feel so personally offended that I think a company makes mediocre products? Why do you feel so compelled to defend them?

The iPhone created smartphones as we know them today. Comparing sales trajectories between 2007 and 2021 is stupid.
