The biggest disappointments in technology village 2013

There are winners who must lose. In addition to the successful blockbusters, the technology village has seen many incidents of bombs or bombs over the past year. And those disappointments can come from big brands you love like Google or Apple.

Of course, any assessment can be controversial. Some products will appear on the list of Best complimented products but also in the spray bomb category. Or also, the failure of a product is entirely within the manufacturer's intentions, in order to implement a larger plan.

1. iPhone 5C

Sales of the iPhone 5C are only a fraction of the more expensive version of the iPhone 5S . There are many reports that Apple has decided to cut output 5C to put effort to produce iPhone 5S during the year-end shopping season, and that the demand for 5C is much lower than previously expected. Many analysts even wonder why Apple sold a product like 5C.

However the story may not be so simple. Recently, an expert hypothesized that perhaps Apple had deliberately left the iPhone 5C behind. The highest purpose of this company is to be able to continue selling the iPhone 5S at an unbelievably high price without users complaining, at the same time, the iPhone 5C can still attract a portion of users from the platforms. different to iOS. Perhaps the picture will become clearer in 2014.

2. Apple's advertising campaigns

When Steve Jobs was alive, product advertising campaigns were always a specialty of Apple for fun, humor and originality. But it seems that the " substance " is gone. This year, Apple's advertising images became serious and overly hard. Apart from Apple employees, perhaps no one feels excited or interesting.

3. Facebook Home

Facebook Home is said to be a great effort of Facebook in challenging Android, but Google does not need to do anything to destroy the opponent, Home has died before. No one used and the first smartphone equipped with the Home interface was HTC First, who was quickly killed after less than a month.

But unfortunately, no one will buy this wonderful cricket. HTC One is a commercial failure, and at the time of its peak, HTC only sold 5 million units. The supply of spare parts is scarce, making the output of phones tight, making the consumption situation worse.

This tablet installed with Windows RT has caused Microsoft to lose up to 900 million. Fortunately, the Surface Pro 2 has a better consumption.

7. BlackBerry 10

Finally, BlackBerry 's expected operating system has officially launched, but sadly, it is an absolute failure.

BlackBerry struggles to sell itself but is also unsuccessful and is struggling to live with a $ 1 billion loan from a large group of shareholders. CEO Thorstein Heins is gone and the BlackBerry brand faces the risk of death more clearly than ever.

8. Moto X

The Moto X is a good phone in every way, but like the HTC One, it's a bomb on the market. Almost very few people spend money to buy Moto X despite Google spending money on marketing this super-hard product.

9. Facebook Poke application

At the end of 2012, Facebook tried to destroy Snapchat's controversial photo-sharing application with Poke , thought to be a cloned copy of Snapchat.

10. Samsung Galaxy Gear
