Looking at it another way, what has Apple missed? Very rarely has Apple truly been the first to a market, their strategy has always been to see an upcoming technology and... well make it good. (not always the first time, but still). Smartphones, tablets, smart watches, even AR. Sure the price is insane but you can't ignore just how polished it is compared to a lot of what is out there. Apple was not the first to any of these, but when they came out with theirs they redefined expectations. Before anyone says AI, AI isn't a product. It's a feature. I really hate that we see the Vision Pro being considered a Flop. It feels like from the beginning Apple knew where this device geared towards and that it was not going to be a mass market device. But it gets it out the door so people can start playing with it while the hardware catches up with the software. And like the Apple Watch, they can see what customers actually want and refocus their software efforts. The fact is, Apple's products are the best they have been. The Apple silicone continues to be regarded as the best out there. The new iPad is getting rave reviews, even if iPad OS may be holding it back a bit. Apple TV+ keeps putting out amazing shows. I just don't buy this article, it feels like we are in a weird quiet period in tech. There are a lot of things that could be done, but we just don't have the hardware to really back it up for things like AR and other wearables. But in the meantime we will just be doing a bunch of AI features. Also, if we are going to call the Car a "flop" but then criticize them for not finding a new product. You don't get it both ways. Same with the Vision Pro.
