The Flip video camera had been one of the great hardware-start-up success stories of the previous decade. Conceived by a small number of engineers in an office above Gump’s department store in San Francisco, the camera went on sale in 2007 and went on to dominate the camcorder market, selling two million units in its first two years and remaining the top-selling camcorder on Amazon to this day.

With an onboard camera that was as good or better than what could be found in a Flip, plus everything else the smartphone can do, it proved to be a more versatile — and, therefore, more desirable — product than a single-function device like the Flip.
