The last decade does not rhyme with the creation of Netflix (1997) but with its popularization. Initially a DVD rental service, the SVOD platform conquered 6 million French people. While being rejected by a part of the environment. Because Netflix blockbusters are watched from a sofa. Not in a cinema.
The controversy arose in 2017. That year, Netflix presented the Korean film Okja at the Cannes Film Festival. From the following year, the release of a film at the cinema becomes the sine qua non condition to enter it into competition. Netflix productions are therefore excluded from Cannes, despite a plebiscite abroad.
Among the notable productions, there are the series Stranger Things, Black Mirror, The Crown or Sex Education. As for films, we find The Irishman by Martin Scorsese, The Laundromat: The Affair of Panama Papers by Steven Soderbergh, Marriage Story by Noah Baumbach or the animated feature film Klaus.
Amazon, whose initial activity was the distance selling of physical books, put on digital work in the late 2000s. The Kindle went on sale in France in November 2009. The first model is devoid of backlight and uses electronic ink, so as not to tire the eyes when reading. Other versions will follow this time with backlit screens. Millions of ebooks are now available on the online store.
Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, presents the iPad in 2010. It is not the first tablet marketed by the brand but an evolution - much more successful - of the Newton tablet, a “personal digital assistant” put on the market in 1993 and abandoned five years later. The iPad quickly met with great success. Apple boasted at the time that it had sold more than three million copies in three months. Today, the Apple tablet comes in several models: iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad and iPad mini.
In 2013, Google introduced the Chromecast. A device to plug into the HDMI port of your TV. Via Wi-Fi, it communicates with any other device connected to the Internet (smartphone, computer, tablet, etc.) in order to display the multimedia content of a compatible application (YouTube, Netflix or Canal for example) on the television. In summary, you no longer need to connect your computer to your television via an HDMI cable to watch your favorite content. In 2019, the Chromecast (in classic or 4K compatible version) remains an equally relevant accessory, sold for less than 40 euros.
Despite the success of previous models in the Galaxy S range, Samsung is still the default alternative to the iPhone. With the Galaxy S6, the South Korean climbs a step. The plastic design of the Galaxy S5 gives way to a new, much more elegant glass appearance. The camera also stands out for its photo quality. In the world of smartphones, the year 2015 marks the arrival of a rival at the height of Apple.
Neither a portable console nor a living room console. The Nintendo Switch does both. The Japanese company hopes to get its head out of the water with this new device presented in 2017. Because the range of Nintendo 3DS consoles has suffered from the rise of mobile games. Nintendo Switch quickly finds its audience. In Europe alone, more than 10 million units have been sold. And almost 42 million worldwide.
Google’s “smart” speaker was released in 2017 in France. Long before Amazon's Echo and Apple's HomePod, both available since 2018. Connected speakers equipped with a voice assistant quickly found their place in homes: 1.7 million French people would use them, according to one 2018 Médiamétrie study.
These devices are mainly used to listen to music, or answer basic questions. After a good start, the evolution of their artificial intelligence will be crucial for their longevity in the coming decade.
Ten years after the first iPhone, Apple is celebrating the event with a smartphone with a radically different design that will become one of the benchmarks of the late 2010s. The iPhone X introduces major innovations such as the edge-to-edge OLED screen and the appearance of the Face ID function. The physical button history is sacrificed. A small revolution at Apple, when the brand was criticized for its lack of innovation.
Two years after Samsung, it's Huawei's turn to pose as a real alternative to Apple in the high-end world. Despite excellent mobiles, the Chinese brand had previously played on value for money to seduce. The Huawei Mate 10 Pro symbolizes the rise of this new player. It stands out for its remarkable design, which makes it one of the most attractive smartphones of the moment. Huawei will further confirm this trend by marketing new premium mobiles, among the most innovative.
