I don't think the point is that 'Apple doesn't ever fail anymore', it's 'Apple doesn't release strange and interesting things anymore'. .. to your examples: * Stranger mice have been made than Apple's. Also, Apple's 'strange mouse' lineage goes all the way back to the first iMac in 1998. * Siri on the desktop isn't anything innovative, it's figuring out some way to build some iOS code to run in regular macOS. * .. and the pencil is just a stylus. They can call it whatever they want. IMHO, none of these rise to the level of something like MagSafe, which is a mundane part of a laptop done in a new and innovative way.
