Obviously, Apple has replaced Nokia in history, via Visual Capitalist
Apple can be very proud of this list, In just 17 years, it has managed to position itself as one of the best-selling brands. But it can also be an example. Nokia was everything and sold more mobile phones than anything else, but it has now almost completely disappeared. This is why we must continue to innovate every year so as not to lose this position.
Interestingly, Apple and Nokia now have a good relationship, although It was the arrival of the iPhone that precipitated the fall of the Finnish giant. It is no better to see the changes that touch screens offered and which have been left behind.
