8 Failed Products from the World’s Biggest Companies

For example, the Fire Phone developed by Amazon and manufactured by Foxconn in 2014, was a complete failure not only because it was too expensive, but also because it entered the smartphone market too late (when Apple and Android already had at least 8 generations of smartphones).

Not to mention that Fire Phone had a limited number of apps, unlike Apple and Android smartphones. To be more specific, in 2014, Android had more than 1 million apps available on Google Play.

Nonetheless, the following year, the company realized that the Fire Phone was commercially unsuccessful, so they discontinued sales.
