An utter failure by Apple
Apple hyped expectations so high that anything less than a total sellout on the first day represents an utter failure of the iDumbPhone. Sorry Apple, guess you can fool some of the people some of the time but the iDumbPhone was so bad that you just couldn't find enough people stupid enough to fall for it. The only people who fell for this one were Apple zealots who would buy the iRack and the iRan just because they had Apple logos on them.

When you remove emotion from the exercise, a comparison of the iDumbPhone with real smartphones from 5 years ago shows that Jobs had it backwards: it is the iDumbPhone that is about 5 years behind the competition.
