This. This was the only thing in that article that I felt was wrong.

Credit where credit is due. Steve showed us what was capable with a smartphone. iPhone would be remembered for that, just that.




From the article: "The iPhone is heralded as the most revolutionary mobile phone in human history..."

What kind of credit do you want?

"IPhone is more important than air."

"If not for the IPhone, the world would stop spinning."

"IPhone has prevented 1,000,000 world wars since it was released."


Your strawmen are not exactly impressive. The very phrase you quoted specifies that it's revolutionary as a mobile phone.

Do you know of any mobile phone "more important than air", "making the world spin" or "preventing wars" through its intrinsic properties?


It's 'iPhone', not 'IPhone'. Using the latter dos not make you look any smarter...

And it's really annoying.
