Apple 's Vision Pro headset was a step in the right direction but fell into many of the same pitfalls as other VR and AR devices.

It was uncomfortable to wear for long periods, couldn’t really justify its existence, and cost far too much.

The company has been rumored to be working on a foldable iPhone Flip for years .

Recent reports suggest the foldable display requirements are high on Apple ’s foldable wish list.

It's rare for any first generation product to be excellent, even if it's being made by Apple .

Even the iPhone , the most valuable product in Apple ’s portfolio, had a rocky beginning.

We all know that Apple doesn’t need to chase trends, but there comes a point where Apple has to stop getting in its own way.
