As a user I find the pattern of "oh noes Apple" and "How to fix Apple" and such stores as weirdly disconnected from my experience.
I don't much care that they lost a lawsuit, vision pro looked like a neat experiment but it didn't bother me that it didn't do well, and the AI stuff I lived without before and can continue to do so.
Not that those don't matter, but the media snowball of articles, I'm not sure how much it reflects consumer sentiment.
WWDC isn't really about consumers. It's about reassuring developers, which is a decidedly difficult task this year more than any.
Would be a good time for Apple to announce some proactive changes. But they're more likely to persist on their current path until it's no longer profitable, hence the need for a defense to their non-shareholder partners.
