Reading the article above, it looks like it was from 2013. Android and iOS has both been out for awhile by then and Blackberry was falling being.

AFAIK as a former blackberry user (my job required to use one to adhere to our clients' security protocols) 2013 was the peak year for Blackberry

"At its peak in September 2013, there were 85 million BlackBerry subscribers worldwide."

I never said that they made more money but that the platform was generally better for executives

In 2012 I had a blackberry because clients that had strict security rules (one of them was in the diamonds business) allowed blackberrys but not other smartphones in their offices
