The Apple Car was the hint the wheels fell off, because it was out of scope for Appleās focus. And the Vision Pro is the next biggest one, because Steve haaaaaaated wearable computing.
Wearable computing does not have to be a VR device, and it can be anything with a sensor, a cpu, gpu and networking features. Apple has at least one succesful wearable computing device, the apple watch. I am not touching vr anyway, it look pointless in nature and gives simulation sickness.
