Unlike other companies such as Microsoft and Android, BlackBerry didn’t take the iPhone‘s surging popularity seriously enough and realized its growing dominance in the market too late.  They tried rebranding, leadership and design changes, even boasted its operating system with more features.  But in the end, the company couldn’t keep up with the growing demand of its customers or the smartphone market.

For those of you who are unsure what this means – that good ol’ blackberry device will no longer receive hardware and/or software support starting said date.
