WWDC 2023 Keynote

WatchOS 10 (rumored to be a big update)

Widgets from the clock face, smart stacks basically.

snoopy and Woodstock come to Apple Watch.

cycling features for the watch.

can connect to bluetooth bike sensors can calculate FTP, or how much power you can do for an hour. Zones for biking.

some features only needs an iPhone.

compass and maps

last known place you had cellular
even elevation on the compass
some other cool hiking features

now onto health

mental health is first. can log mood and emotions on Apple Watch or iPhone. Big update IMO, but again something avaliable in third part apps, now come natively to iPhone and watch.

something to help with Myopia.

Screen distance on iPad, iPhone

seems to be wrapping up, but I'm guessing one more thing. (yep one more thing)

Augmented reality headset coming up.

applevision pro

pretty hyped up product, will apple deliver? Will it be reasonably priced. I've heard we may not get this till 2024.

They are saying this will be as revolutionary as the mouse with the personal computer, click wheel with iPods, multi touch on iPhone. Man they are hyping this thing up.

IDK but I feel like this will take some time for people to get use to. this thing is big and looks awkward, yeah the features are cool but imagine being the only person wearing this in any environment.

Now Bob Iger is on stage from Disney

This thing looks amazing, but Id imagine it will be thousands of dollars

lots of features with this thing, Apple is really hyping up this new product, could it send apple to the next level, or will this be a flop.

IDK what to think of this new device. I'm thinking wow that is amazing, but why would I use this over my computer. Yeah it would be cool to watch a movie on this, but the price of this is likely going to be too high to me even to consider trying it.

Looks like the world as we know it just changed today. There is before iPhoen and after iPhone. Now there is before Vision Pro and after Vision Pro.

Fortunately this thing will be too expensive for mass consumption for at least a few years.

might as well buy a fully modded M2 MacBook Pro instead of buying the vision pro. It's the same price.

I was more intrigued by the simpler things like OS updates to WatchOS, tvOS allowing phones/ipads to use facetime and display on TVs using apple TV.

If they could just friggin put macOS on ipad, I'm a happy camper. Charge me 199$ and be done with it.

Imagine going back to 2006 and telling everyone that $1100 phones will sell like hot cakes. You'd get laughed out of the room. In this particular case the early adopters will need to pay a high price but people will absolutely do it. The price and size will go down over the next 5 years.

I would imagine if they come down to the cost of their flagship phone it will be lighter on features. People will buy this thing, but this feels more like the higher end MacBook pros, Mac pros, etc. which sell but nothing like the lower end models. Apple really hyped this up but I doubt these things sell like hotcakes at first, but I'm excited to see where they go with this in the next few years, but it's likely far away from a mass consumer item, rather a luxury, or people with lots of money type product.

VisionOS is the future. Obviously not necessarily the first gen and price.

But I’m a huge tech nerd, work a six figure tech job. I was mind blown just imagining the engineering, innovation, and imagination that went into it.

The average consumer can’t see it yet. Hell I hated all things VR and AR. I went into that presentation skeptical, thinking it was gimmick.

Ten minutes in, I knew this would be another iPhone moment. I sat back in awe and just thought what a time to be alive.

Yes I’m buying one for $3499 haha. Time to start the sinking fund.
