Apple has been a marketing and fashion company disguised as a tech company since at least the '90s. Every single one of their "innovations" since the iPod was a copy of existing tech with an Apple logo on it.
Hell, even the original colorful iMac ads were basically a knock-off of the redesigned VW Bug commercials.
Its like gaming. Too many normies buy shit where its super hard for a game to go broke. You can be a nerd with standards and it wouldve worked 20 years ago when there are more nerds with standards than there are normies.
Now.. normies probably outnumber nerds in nerd stuff by 10 to 1. Only time it fails is if it is super super ugly and super obvious lefty.
Apple has always been a trend-follower, not a trend-maker. They see how the market is moving, then buy one-generation-older tech, buy so much of it that the market gets strangled "naturally" to discourage competition, and then market the hell out of it.
And they make good money doing so. Everyone loves last year's tech remarketed as "new magic-tech! And in a white case, with an apple picture on it!".
Apple hasn't innovated shit in at least 10 years if not longer. They're pretty much proof that smart consumers are a vast minority now a days.

They have the m chip, which is said to take over the chip market. Supposedly.
