"never ... officially canceled"

[edit]

As I brought up on the page for AirPower (Apple) and it being designated as vaporware or not, I think the current definition of a product that is "never ... officially cancelled" is too open-ended and should be rephrased to something like "never or belatedly cancelled". Most examples in List of vaporware were canceled in some way, either directly or tacitly, years down the road of their announcement. If a company announces product X is coming out in six months, never delivers it and then 10 years later finally confirms it's never coming out, is it suddenly not vaporware anymore? Reading the current definition here, yes. --Shivertimbers433 (talk) 04:47, 19 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
