BlackBerry CEO Says Apple Isn’t Innovating Fast Enough
Thorstein Heins, CEO of BlackBerry, told The Australian Financial Review.
Apple did a fantastic job in bringing touch devices to market … They did a fantastic job with the user interface, they are a design icon. There is a reason why they were so successful, and we actually have to admit this and respect that.
History repeats itself again I guess … the rate of innovation is so high in our industry that if you don’t innovate at that speed you can be replaced pretty quickly. The user interface on the iPhone, with all due respect for what this invention was all about is now five years old.
He is right. iOS interface hasn’t changed drastically in five years. That’s because iOS is almost perfect and that’s why the iPhone has been so successful in the last five years.
