Tech highlights the 16 smartphones that were deemed as ‘iPhone Killers’ by various tech publications at the time of their launch, between 2008-2011 (via Daring Fireball). However, last year alone, Apple sold over 190 million iPhones, so one can safely say that the iPhone has not in fact been killed.
