10 Inventions that Killed Businesses

3. Apple iPhone

With the advent of high-end mobile-phones, landlines and cordless-phones have literally been pushed to the back. Landlines are still used by the population but mostly because they are needed for router connections. Among the most revered mobile-phones in the market, there is no greater status symbol than an i-Phone. Apple products, especially the i-Phone, are valued to such a great extent that its users are considered a rung above all others. People had even lined up before Apple outlets to be among the first people to own i-Phones. This kind of a fan following is not seen in other brands. The very idea of owning an Apple i-Phone is like a dream come true. This is something regular phones were never able to achieve. Not only are i-Phones a part of style-statement but also iconic. This is because i-Phones are mini personal computers but only more user friendly and stylish. This is another reason why its sales are sky-rocketing and that of regular phones is dipping.
