All of them! The first version of the iPhone, iPad, iPod, watch, AirPods...
They all had similar reviews. "Seems like a tech preview, not really ready for general use, too expensive", etc.

The idea of 'spatial computing' or a heads up display that augments your vision and gives you eye tracking input to manipulate UIs in your visual field seems clearer superior to looking at little glass displays (meta agrees). If you can project out a future where that hardware becomes better and better it's a pretty powerful interface paradigm.
Eye tracking as an interface for this can get pretty close to telepathy if done well.
I ordered one - it's the sort of thing you really have to play with yourself imo.
The first iPad was ok only because it truly was "just a bigger iPhone". But they didn't really make features that were unique to the iPad and took advantage of its bigger screen for a few versions afterwards.
I would say the main function of an iPod OS is finding what you want to play, not actually playing it.
It was extremely easy if you tagged your mp3s properly.
The first iPad was similarly expensive, thick and underpowered. It wasn't until a couple generations in that it was good.
