Blackberry's "mistake" was a lazy managemant who sat on their backsides
and gobbled up piles of money into their own pockets while not actually
doing any work or producing almost nothing new. Then along came the
iPhone and they sat there like stunned fish trying to figure out what
happened. By the time they even remotely got their act together it was
already too lte.

Mismangament - basically the same "mistake" that killed Commodore
Computers and many other companies.

Apple itself has never really been interested in market share. With
their huge bank balance, they could ALMOST simply give Macs and iOS
devices away for free if they purely wanted market share. They would
still make massive profits on the App Store purchases, etc.
