I agree that Apple does a better job, but wasn't Apple Vision Pro announced 240 days before you could get it? I think it's a pretty safe bet that Gemini 1.5 (or something better) will be available anyone who wants to use it in the next 240 days.

AVP was the exception than norm.

Apple aggressively keeps products under wraps before launch fires employees and vendors for leaking any sort of news to the press .

Also an hardware product that is miles ahead of competition in terms of components and also needs complex setup workflow (for head and eyes) something apple has not done before being 7-8 months after announcing is not really comparable with a SaaS API in terms of delays

The first of it's type AR/VR hardware has, understandably, a longer release cycle. Also, Apple announced early to drive up developer interest.
