Apple is pretty late to the smart display market. We have had these devices around for almost a decade now.

  - Echo Show: 2017
  - Nest Hub: 2018
  - HomeView: 2026

The existing products have been through multiple generations and have differentiated into different sizes, features, and formats.

I think this is pretty classic Apple – they take their time jumping into a new product segment and only do it once they feel their product would work and be received well. The iPhone Duo being released this year after ~10 years of foldable Android phones is a similar story

That strategy worked great for the Vision Pro

it worked great for iPhone.

And Apple Car. It's so high-tech, you can't even see it on the road!
