ITT: Abject tech product failures

You are a failure OP
Lets talk about that in this thread

And here you are. Like drawn to like. Me, the aloof observer just passing through. You two can commiserate.

this was a massive failure, but in another 2-3 years, it might actually be a successful product considering how nearly EVERYTHING is a subscription service now.

apple is basically living off the legacy of the first iphone and ipod. they dont innovate anymore and there's absolutely no reason to buy an apple product in the current age.

This is the most zoomer sentence I've ever read. It's clear that you've only been consciously aware for under 16 years.
>>
>>107245816
I don't know anyone over 30 who points out how "zoomer" a sentence is without actually addressing anything. What a childish post.
>>
>>107245864
Now you do.

If you can't tell what the point is from context you're fucked.

Those products are what solidified Apple's brand name, you moron. As I said previously, the iPhone™ & iPod™. If it were not for the iPhone™ & iPod™, Apple would not have an incessant elitist fandom.

No wonder you made a low effort shitpost about zoomers without addressing any actual point. You're a fucking retard. You've been cooked, fr bro.

Try not to dunk on people for being low effort when posting a screenshot of AI output Because you couldn't be bothered to actually put the effort in to find a primary source to back up your point

Faggot behind this shit had multiple similar project including Smart salt shaker and selling people "raw water" (literally water from some rusty pipe in the middle of some fucksville).

iphones still rank highest or near the top on performance metrics of various kinds. There's a healthy amount of people who are willing to pay more to get the best tech. Add to that the fact people who are invested in the ecosystem, familiar with the UI, etc. are not going to move to another platform.

what's that? looks really cool

I own a xiaomi phone and an iPhone. Super happy with my xiaomi. Unreal user experience.

Stuff that I can do on the xiaomi that I can't do on the iPhone:
- Close all background apps with one single tap
- Type a full stop without changing the keyboard page
- Not bother turning fucking mobile data and VPN off every time (these always automatically get switched on on the iPhone for whatever reason)
- Quickly jump to any letter in a word with one tap
- Quickly bring up all background apps with one tap
- Quickly exit an app with one tap
- Take incredible photos and videos in 200mp (iPhone cameras can't compare)
- Have a screen with a high refresh rate

And all of this is for the fraction of the price of the fucking iPhone. I'm forgetting a lot of things, too, but user experience on the iPhone is abysmal. It just is.

Idk why you cited me in your reply

why would this thing ever have made sense you would need to seriously be an idiot
>>
I tried one of these and actually kind of liked it as a gadget. It feels good to hold and use. But I'd pay maybe $50 for one, not $200.
>>
>>107244896
What? This toy failed? But every single anon on this board told me how it was going to be a success and the best product ever wtf?
>>
>>107249651
Literally nobody said that
>>
>>107249667
I said that. Look it up in the archives.
>>
>>107244896
acktshually, it's battery-powered, not AI-powered

>>107249688
Yeah like I said nobody said that

It's always funny how all those scam tech projects always focus on looks and design. Same with this neo robot. Like they spend all of their resources on something that should be done at the very end.
They never have a functional product nor a specific use case it is supposed to solve but they somehow already have the looks and the marketing. It's so obvious.

They never answer why do people need that thing. In all their ads they pretend that everyone has it and everyone should have one and use exclusively buzzwords. They never state X is a problem and we offer Y, a solution. They just imply that everyone just needs Y.
Then of course the product is never developed. The "inventor" however always speaks of it as it's already perfectly functional without even a clear background and understanding how it should work from technical standpoint.
"Yo here's our magical shitbox, everyone has it, the reason why is obvious so we aren't gonna explain so just give us money"
Every. Single. Time.
>>
>>107249794
Because actual real problems that need solutions are complicated, time consuming and expensive. It's easier to create a product and fool investors into thinking it makes life 0.001% more convenient and everyone will be using it.
>>
>>107249794
>design is secondary
How are you going to build it if you don't know what it's supposed to look like?
>>
>>107249794
That neo robot is just a giant toy designed for the ultra wealthy. The kind of wealthy where dropping $20k is like spending $20. It can only do 1 task autonomously, and that's open doors, and it doesn't even do that fast or efficiently. Everything else requires remote control from some guy in India. When the company dissolves after 2 years, you now have a $20k paper weight.

>>107249667
You need to go back newfag
>>
>>107250270
Sorry you're so upset.
>>
>>107250196
If you don't know what the format of it is going to be
How are you going to build it?
How are you going to design a PCB if you don't know what size, shape and kind of case it's going to be in? How are you going to know what kind of case it's going to be in if you don't know what the physical appearance of the final product is supposed to be?
>>
>>107250294
I don't even know what to say to this comment. This is not how technology is designed.
>>
>>107250292
>Sorry
Apology rejected, I hope you die retarded newdittor
>>
>>107250334
When it's a human interface device? Yes it is. You start with how it's going to be used, which informs the physical shape and layout of it, and then you fit the tech into it.
>>
>>107250360
Oh okay, so you're just going to move the goalosts now.
I won't continue to reply because you're clearly not having a discussion in good faith. Have a good day.
>>
>>107250391
How do you think things are designed? The goalposts are where they always were, the design process of a thing like in the OP.
>>
>>107250058
Don't worry, if you're lucky someone might but the company's assets and charge you a $1k/month subscription fee if you don't want the robot to strangle your children in their sleep
>>
Is anyone working on a VR-controlled humanoid drone?
>>
>>107251126
Yes.
>>
>>107251126
That's literally what Neo is.
