Reply to comment by MrFluffyhead80 in Tim Cook bets on Apple’s mixed-reality headset to secure his legacy by DarthBuzzard

I got it from remembering when Apple produced products that revolutionized industries because they were focused on solving problems with technology instead of marketing technology that no one asked for. Maybe I’m wrong, but the Apple Watch, Apple TV, and home pod haven’t really been the mind blowing advances that the iPod, iPhone and iPad were.

But hey, as long as you’re willing to let Apple sell you on decades old technology as if it was new, I guess it’s nonsense.

Apple Watch is kind of everywhere, but if you need the obvious answer go look at the headphones most people are wearing out there

Yup, their marketing is great.

That is true, but I wasn’t talking about marketing

Apple pretty much always took existing tech and just made it more accessible. Smartphones existed, MP3 players exited, Apple just made them slick and convenient for the average person to use.
