Blog # 9 Launch of Failed or Succesful product or service
Apple is one of the leading companies in the world for trying to be inventive, innovative and a futurist. They have had so much success in many of their products that they put out in the market, from the iPhone, iPad, iPods and so much more. However, like any company they had their flops as well as their strokes of bad luck. Back in 1993, Apple released a device called the Apple Newton, it was basically a palm pilot. The problem that apple faced with this product was that it was a first of its kind and the market was just not ready for something that high-tec. It was bulky, looked terrible and was probably about the size of an iPhone 6 Plus but without the thinness. It had many problems that it was advertised as being able to do and became a punchline for a lot of comedians. But just because a product fails to deliver its doesn't mean that you pack your bags and head home. Apple stopped making the Newton device and within 10 years started to carve out its own little piece of the market and has become the Powerhouse giant that you see know.
