Why do companies plan so far ahead?

Tech companies like Apple plan product releases years in advance due to the complex nature of research, development, and manufacturing. Bringing a new device like smart glasses or a revamped headset to market involves extensive design, engineering, supply chain management, and testing. This long lead time ensures products are innovative, reliable, and ready for mass production.
