Apple's iPhone 4 announcement in 2010 suffered connectivity and network issues during live website demos.
Apple's 2024 iPad 'Crush!' trailer was perceived as tone-deaf by destroying artist tools, resulting in a public apology.
Microsoft Surface RT was priced at $900 million in losses due to laggy early performance and poorly running apps on a touchscreen.
