With the VisionPro hype already dead (maybe forever?), bad or tasteless iPad ads, purposeless updates to iPad, Apple dropping their car project, and reaching out to OpenAI or Google for AI services ... it certainly feels like it to me. They've at least run into their limitations recently however much they want to find the "next iPhone".

With the VisionPro, I always thought it'd flop and so predicted that it'd be the end for Cook. I'm still holding onto that prediction.

in my opinion, the experience of the vision pro is magical enough now hardware-wise, but the lack of killer apps and the price are too painful. of course the hardware will get much better over time too, i figure the cpu/gpu/networking etc will be down the wire on the hip so the glasses are just display and sensors.

Agreed. The demo is stunning. But this is the developer version. Look at the IPhone vs the iPhone 6.
