i wouldnt be surprised if apple is going to bring back server offerings. the industry is swinging towards datacenter again and apple already has historic precedent there (Xserve)
plus consumers are getting made super poor now (it is what it is), and smartphone features are getting rapidly commodified while simultaneously failing to innovate: VR, foldables, etc, these are all attempts to try and get away from getting eaten from below, and all have failed. you can be the shiniest smoothest small black square on the market, but its becoming imperceptible (another example, retina displays: every display is a retina display now.)
well, i suppose this links back to the subject - perhaps the guys at the top can see that the tech road is no longer heading in a consumer-adjacent kind of place. the serious investment will be into infrastructure and large scale stuff, not so much for the customer directly.
