> The power of Objective-C?
Sort of. I kind of like objective-C in that it gets more fundamentals right than it gets wrong - better than fucking reimplementing Java and then hoping with years and millions of dollars it will perform acceptably - it’s quite sad given how naive ObjC is at it’s core. But iPhone probably would have been successful even with plain C or C++ with a decent library.
Smartphones and PDAs like Palm and PocketPC arguably did relatively more with much less - (this is not to diminish the UX achievement or advancement of iPhone so please put the pitchforks down).
