BlackBerry Owned 43% of America. Then It Laughed at the iPhone

This BlackBerry documentary tells how Research In Motion rose to 43% of the U.S. smartphone market — worth $83 billion — then collapsed to zero after dismissing the iPhone. The full rise and fall of BlackBerry. At its peak, BlackBerry was the most powerful phone company on Earth: 85 million users, a stock at $147, and a device so addictive it was nicknamed the "CrackBerry." Then a screen with no buttons changed everything. This is the complete story of how the smartphone king was undone by its own greatest strengths — the keyboard and the security that made it refuse to build a touchscreen. 📌 Chapters: 0:00 43% of America — then zero 0:10 The illusion of forever 1:25 A drop-out in Waterloo 2:56 The unbreakable moat 4:08 The fatal misread 5:30 The Storm 6:50 43% to zero 8:14 Why success is the killer #BlackBerry #RiseAndFall #BusinessDocumentary #Smartphone #techhistory
