I'm old enough to remember the tech press talking about the idea of 'convergence' all throughout the late 90's and early-00's. As cellphones started to integrate more technologies and crossover devices like Sony's PSP console emerged, the iPhone came along as the zenith of this idea. Reading The One Device by Bryan Merchant will show that the technology that went into it was over a century in the making.
I see what you are saying. Apple's Vision Pro is not that moment repeated. This is their Motorola 'Bag Phone', a cumbersome device one step on the road to something greater that looks incredible at the time of release.
The proper breakthrough of spatial computing belongs to some other CEO at some other company, 20+ years away. They will be showing past devices on stage, like Jobs did and one of them will be the Vision Pro.
