bb died because its product got cheap, then it got stale
i worked for verizon wirless in bbs heyday until their collapse to the iphone
apps were not the issue because they didn’t have the hardware to support them
palm went the same way before them
suits just can’t help themselves cutting quality into the ground, refusing to invest in future tech
apple is literally doing the same thing now, it’s just there is no real competitor in quality or innovation atm, only price and control and google just threw apple a huge bone chasing their own walled garden
BB died because they came too late to the App ‘fad’ and stubbornly refused to support independent app development until it was too late and they had already lost.
Their Playbook used the QNX system. Too little too late.

they never had the hardware to support the app
even if they day 1 pivoted to supporting said apps bb had no way to make them feel good
