    There are ways of testing for these things that doesn’t involve millions of dollars in marketing events (they did flew a bunch of tech influencers to Cupertino) and millions more in manufacturing (factories are expensive as hell). Apple admitted themselves that the number of sales was even lower than their already limited expectations.

        A failure is a failure, no matter how small or big. Just because its Apple why brush it off as a happy little experiment?

          Did they make money? obviously not.

          Will it help them make money in the future? nobody knows. Probably not as much as it could have, we’ll have to wait and see.
