The UK only needs low skilled workers for soft fruit that need to be hand picked.

It's fine with every other crop. Maybe farmers should just switch to those.

Cheap "British" strawberries are not worth the workes' abuse and low pay.

Then why did the price drop 4x and sales grew 3x with the iPhone 3g?

Seriously, if price wasn't a problem and Ballmer was wrong, why did Apple even drop the price?

Truth is this wasn't that long ago, I still remember it, and the price drop was a huge deal to a lot of people.

Articles like these were everywhere.

> saying idiotic things like "no one would buy such an expensive phone" (about the iPhone).

This is something that people keep saying but he way actually right and at this point this is just an Internet meme.

I remember that moment. The iPhone costed $800 with a phone plan. Insane. Nobody does that even today, so in that regard he was right.

Only after the iPhone 3 and $200 phone with a contract did it ever start selling.
