Commenting on the launch, Obi Worldphone Co-founder John Sculley, said, “This is an industry with 200 different brands vying for consumers’ attention. There will be 1.4 billion Android phones produced in 2016 alone, so there needs to be a way to stand apart from the pack.” He further added, “The components for all these different phones are mass produced, in the same countries, and often in the same factories. What we’ve done with the Obi Worldphone from the very beginning is a show that it’s possible to have a beautifully designed phone that fits into your lifestyle at an accessible price without sacrificing form and technology.
