Apple's failure to gain traction with Vision Pro is a developer ecosystem problem that no M5 refresh solves. The company bet on spatial computing as the next platform shift but hasn't convinced app makers the market exists, leaving the device stuck between hobby tech and actual product category. Without third-party investment and killer use cases beyond media consumption, Vision Pro becomes another high-margin dead end like the HomePod, burning credibility for Apple's next platform bet.
