Samsung Galaxy Note 7

Samsung’s flagship phone literally caught fire. Overheating batteries led to explosions, a global recall, and $5.3B in losses.

Google Glass

It looked like sci-fi, but ended up being a privacy disaster. Google Glass was pulled after public backlash and poor sales.

Microsoft Zune

Zune was Microsoft’s answer to Apple’s iPod… and it failed spectacularly. Bad timing, poor design, zero hype.

Facebook’s Metaverse

Meta’s VR world was supposed to change the internet. Instead, it burned billions with awkward avatars and empty lobbies.

Apple Maps Launch

Apple Maps launched with massive errors—airports labeled as parks, highways missing, and cities in wrong spots.
