How does the Vision Pro not qualify as a "thing" Apple made?
Or the Apple Watch, AirPods, HomePod, iPad, etc.
They’ve made plenty of things. I liken them to the Lexus of consumer electronics; expensive for what they are, thoughtfully designed, and conservative in their approach to adopting new trends.
One could say it has a Newtonian gravity about it..
They completely revolutionized laptop processors, were the first to put meaningful health data in watches, and created the first good bluetooth earbuds, but I guess they don't do things anymore.
Because 8 people worldwide own one, and it will stop receiving support shortly, if it hasn't already.
OP doesn't literally mean they haven't made anything, he means that they've made nothing of real substance - which holds true when their biggest recent release is already completely forgotten by the public writ large.
