Predict how present day would be like if Apple never unveiled the iPhone in 2007

Predict how present day would be like if Apple never unveiled the iPhone in 2007.

Blackberries everywhere
Umpcs actually took off
Though I want to believe someone would release capacitive screened devices sometime just due the convenience of not having to recalibrate the resistive screens
We'd most likely have true pocket computers essentially

We would still be using resistant touch and andloos would be everywhere.

Also Windows phone would be more prevalent.

Headphones jacks everywhere
Batteries would last

It'd be better

- Much less smartphone zombies
- Normies wouldn't have invade the Internet
- Trump wouldn't be president
- No Brexit
- No SJW
- Less ads and clickbaits
- Mostly a better Internet
- I.Q wouldn't have dropped that much
- Better attention spans
- Femens wouldn't be so mad of no getting hot mens and new Iphones.
- Less iMacs
- More Linux

MS monopoly on phones

>Much less smartphone zombies
wrong
>Normies wouldn't have invade the Internet
If by normies you mean poo2loos and chinkies, then yes. White people and the west + japan would still use the internet.
>- Trump wouldn't be president
Wrong
>- No SJW
Wrong
>- Less ads and clickbaits
Confirmed for never being on the internet in the late 90s/early 2000s
>- Mostly a better Internet
Impossible to say
>- I.Q wouldn't have dropped that much
Baseless assumptions
>- Better attention spans
wrong
- Femens wouldn't be so mad of no getting hot mens and new Iphones.
What is a femen? a feminine man? who the fuck cares.
>- Less iMacs
wrong
>- More Linux
Windows Mobile and Symbian would likely be dominant, so no. Wrong.

Care to elaborate ?

I'm pretty sure the world became worse because of smartphones. Normies couldn't handle technology well and it made their lifes shitty.

We would still have smartphones, they will just be made someone else.

We would instead have a world divided between Symbian and Windows Mobile (not to be confused with Windows Phone)

About a year behind where we are now.

Is something wrong with me if I consider this the funniest image I have seen posted on Sup Forums in weeks.

it means you're new

nice digits

Android vs Symbian or Windows

Android was already being developed as a Blackberry clone

>>- Trump wouldn't be president
>Wrong
I want to believe he'd still run maybe but he most likely wouldn't get elected
His rampant Twitter shitposting did give him an edge

he would just rampantly shitpost on Facebook instead. That was around in 2007.

I wanna insult you but I can't find the correct insult
You are literally a cross between a "smurtphuns r evil" boomer and a "ree normies much sekrit klub" newfag

Yeah you're right
Also for some reason I keep thinking Facebook being released had something to do with iphones but it didn't when I think about

Wouldn't bb7 or something be in the mix too?

Yeah Facebook went worldwide in 2005 mate.
My phone in 2007 had FB preloaded as a java app

Ugh I can still hear people going "I spent hours on Facebook :DDD"

>hey dude you play farmville yet??? :D
>you like my new profile pic? ::DDD

If someone made a phone with a comparable form factor and a new input method, it might actually be good.
The current problem with smart phones is there is no innovation.
I mean, unlocking with a kinect instead of a fingerprint reader is kinda new but I think it is possible to do one better.
A very important part for me is typing.
Blackberry ads a physical keyboard which is nice but I personally would like to go even further back and get T9.
T9 was really good with small keyboards, it doesn't take up a lot of space, so it allowed phones to be small without compromising the typing experience.
Maybe a better input method can be made, but I am certain qwerty isn't the solution.
It is bad on phones, but it boggles my mind that when they need input on a TV, they want you to arrowkey + enter on a qwerty keyboard instead of just implementing T9.
Phones are a bit better in this regard, but I would still prefer going back to a physical T9.

Blackberry 10 might have fared better because there wouldn't have been Apple's ROFLSTOMP of the entire phone industry overnight
