Apple products have been successful specifically because they attract the mass market right away. Early adopters didn't use iPhones, they used HP iPaqs and Dell Axim PDAs running Windows Mobile. iPhones obsoleted them by simplifying the UI so anybody aged 8-80 could use it. If an Apple product seems like it's for 'early adopters', it's already failed.
