I do know a bit of what the individual band members did since the break-up. George Harrison's triple Album "All Things Must Pas" from 1970 and "The Concert for Bangladesh" triple album from 1971/72. Then Ringo Starr's 1973 "Ringo" and the 1976 "Ringo's Rotogravure". And John Lennon's 1975 "Rock 'n' Roll". Surprising myself, I also own Paul McCartney's 1971 "Ram".

A contemporary reviewer called their sound "poppy fields expanding to infinity", which seems fair enough, for their early material:
There was always a sense of expanding space of some kind creeping in, if not of "poppy fields". Sometimes it spoke of existential crisis, at least for this young Werther:
And this one got a lot of late-night play;
