Unpopular opinion: That 2007 video of the guy predicting the iPhone would flop still cracks me up
I was digging through old YouTube archives last week and found this clip from 2007 where some tech blogger in Seattle swore the iPhone would never sell because people hated touchscreens on their PDAs. He literally said 'no one wants a phone without buttons' and laughed at the $499 price tag. Anyone else got a favorite prediction that aged like milk?

Remember that same guy doubling down a year later saying the App Store was a gimmick that nobody would use because people only wanted their phone to make calls and check email. He literally predicted the iPhone would be dead in the water by 2010, yet here we are with touchscreens glued to our hands every waking hour. Makes you wonder what current tech we're all sleeping on that'll look just as ridiculous in another fifteen years.
