Historically? What?! Apple had about 15 years of lukewarm products. Even during their initial phase many products were commercial flops.
Their post iPhone era is an outlier.
- hnlmorg 3y agoThey’ve had plenty of lukewarm products in their post iPhone era as well. And it’s not as if the original iPhone didn’t have its own issues that Apple had to quickly pivot from. Plus there’s a lot of talk about gaming here but Apple don’t have a good track record for gaming: their games console was a massive flop. macOS isn’t seen as a gaming OS (I see more talk of Linux than is do of macOS) and Apple Arcade is yet another one of those lukewarm products. So I’m questioning whether this headset is targeting that market…and if it is, whether gamers would even take it seriously. I’ll definitely be watching this piece of hardware to see what happens but I don’t feel confident that this will be “another iPhone”.
