I somehow fail to see this as the most I want in a car is confort and perhaps space not screen time.

A killer feature for a car would be FSD but that’s not an “iPhone” thing.

BYD and the other Chinese manage to sell good EVs for great prices but I don’t see them irreplaceable like the iPhone.

Maybe they are the new Toyota but not the iPhone.

Same goes with Tesla though it’s more complicated because Tesla keeps promising FSD.

The iPhone didn’t promise anything. It just delivered.

It's all about marketing. You buy the thing that has the best marketing, not the best thing. That's how Apple replaced all these other smartphone vendors.

    This is a very narrow and simplistic view on the extremely complex topics of market dynamics and consumer behaviour.

      Also, utterly wrong. The iPhone is very good at being a phone + lots more.

      Marketing can get you a leap and a start, but if the product isn't at least usable, it'll die out.

      Anyone should be able to bring to mind giant marketing blitz for products that died horribly.
