Remember the Facebook phone? Let me refresh your memory. The facebook phone was a handheld device meant primarily for using Facebook. Sounds bizarre right? Back in 2013, facebook thought that this was a great idea. However, the question users asked themselves was: why should I buy this hardware when I already have access to the facebook app on my regular phone? Obviously the Facebook phone was a disaster and bombed big time. Amazon’s Fire phone was a similar failure. Its primary objective was to encourage people to shop more on Amazon.
