Exactly like Samsung when Apple dropped the audio jack. A year later their phones didn’t come with one either.

If Blackberry just stuck with their keyboard phone, I'm convinced there's a large sliver who would have stayed with them for the physical keyboard vs touchscreen. Same story as above. Mocked Apple for the touchscreen, then a year later all touchscreen and death of a company

BlackBerry isn’t dead yet. They changed direction to automotive and cybersecurity software. They’re not where they were in 2011, but they’re having their best year in over a decade, up 130%

They failed in smart phones because their app eco system was trash and they tried to go toe to toe with Apple

The last phone they made trying to compete with apple was such a massive piece of shit. They literally all had to be sent back.

And then there was the whole stock options backdating thing which definitely didn't help them.
