iPhone sales may be down in China. But the Apple stores in other parts of Asia (Singapore, etc), are clogged with Chinese tourists buying iPhones. Current jingoistic/nationalistic sentiments being drummed by the CCP in China is taking a toll on most foreign brands, including Apple, Tesla, BMW, etc. Truth of the matter, which Apple is finally realising, the Chinese market is not going to recover for them ever again. Hence Apple is moving aggressively in the Indian and the other markets. As an AAPL investor, while I'm happy with the investments Apple is making on next-gen tech like AVP, I personally don't see AVP or its variants becoming a mainstream product. Apple should focus on getting a face-wear product similar to the RayBan Meta glasses, with cloud based multi-modal AI support, Siri-onboard and an attached AirPod, that I can wear throughout the day, as my personal AI assistant. I don't need spatial 3D. Just a simple overlay/HUD that will show me a way finder, help me with reminders, put a name to a (known and in my contacts) face, language translation, and as a "personal life concierge". Pair it to my iPhone, but make sure I never have to take it out of my pocket with UI and interactions using verbal, frame touch or via eye-tracking. The Glassholes from Google got the basic concept right, but flubbed the overall execution.
