Did they? It really felt to me like they weren't trying for a moonshot with it: their sales projection of ca. 1M units falls under the single-digit percentage range of their annual revenue.
Yeah, they've actually sold less than that, but in context, it's still very much a "let's throw it at the wall and see what sticks" kind of thing. It also nonetheless fits how Apple communicates their product vision in new areas.

Then, they call AVP a failure for. It meeting those set expectations. It’s not all that impressive to win an argument when you get that much freedom over framing things without much regard for the realities.
- nrr 2y agoWhat's the product strategy? How's it at odds with what Apple has indicated? The accusatory use of the second person implies that you're in my head enough to know that I'm trying to win an argument. It's patently untrue; I want to be loudly wrong so that I have more than merely a snowball's chance in hell of garnering understanding here. If you have corrections to offer, I'm receptive to them.
