For every iPhone, there are a dozen catastrophic flops. These tech products were supposed to change the world but instead became cautionary tales.
A $700 internet-connected juicer that squeezed pre-packaged juice pouches. When investors discovered you could just squeeze the pouches by hand, the company collapsed.
BlackBerry's first touchscreen phone with a "clickable" screen that felt awful. It crashed constantly and cemented BlackBerry's decline.
Google's attempt to take on Facebook. A ghost town from day one, it forced integration with YouTube and Gmail but never gained real traction.
Launched with a clunky OS, poor app selection, and no clear audience. HP killed it after 49 days, selling the remaining stock for $99.
A phone with five cameras and a 3D display feature nobody asked for. It was so unsuccessful Amazon wrote off $170 million in unsold inventory.
The smartphone that literally exploded. A battery defect caused devices to catch fire, leading to a complete global recall and permanent ban on flights.
Microsoft's iPod killer that killed nothing. A chunky, clunky device with a weird brown color scheme and a subscription model nobody wanted.
A smart display from the company that had just lost millions of users' trust over privacy scandals. Putting a Facebook camera in your living room felt insane.
Before the iPhone, there was this brick. Its handwriting recognition was so bad it became a running joke on The Simpsons.
Augmented reality glasses that made wearers look like cyborgs. Privacy concerns, a ridiculous price tag, and zero mainstream appeal killed it fast.
