No, Apple did no bringt us the Smartphone. They also did not bring us the Smartwatch.
All of this existed prior to Apple. What Apple did is polish existing ideas up, doing incredibly good marketing, and making stuff that was not sexy but simply worked (think blackberry) into a status symbol.
Typically Apple did correctly identify which existing technologies would sell if polished up.
For the Vision Pro they completely misjudged. The first 3D hype started in 1922, and every 10 years or so VR and AR came up again, and EACH AND EVERY product failed and the hype died off again. It was always the same: "Wow, impressive technology" followed by "Hm, I actually prefer to be part of my environment" or "Actually I like 2D more". Every single time.
And it will by the same for this hype cycle.
It was simply bad judgment of Apple to notice that this technology did not fail due to it not being polished enough, but simply for people not wanting it.
Even those of you who aren't old and have not lived through four of those AR/VR hype cycles should remember Google Glass. Apple managers should have remembered, too.
A couple of years ago many of my developer friends used to be in the VR/AR business. With the exception of one, all have quit that sector, because whatever they created, in the end nobody wanted it. Not even the niches that would have been useful to humanity, like medical applications.
It's dead, Jim.
