BlackBerry CEO Slams iPhone as No Longer Innovative

When you're in third place, it's hard not to talk about the guys in first and second, so it makes sense that BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins needs to answer questions about Apple and the iPhone as he continues his media blitz to promote the new BlackBerry Z10 smartphone. His recently shared his thoughts on the current iPhone and iOS, and they're predictably critical.

Speaking to the Australian Financial Review, Heins first gave credit to Apple for creating a groundbreaking product six years ago.

"Apple did a fantastic job in bringing touch devices to market.... They did a fantastic job with the user interface; they are a design icon. There is a reason why they were so successful, and we actually have to admit this and respect that."
