US Editor-in-Chief, Lance Ulanoff, will be attending WWDC in person, and has shared his thoughts on what we can expect:Īpple’s decision to launch a major new product category during WWDC threatens to completely overshadow anything else the iPhone giant launches today. So it’s not like a live demo means there’s no smoke and mirrors… Of course, keep in mind that in practice, the iPhone’s software apparently completely fell apart if you did anything other than the exact things Steve Jobs did in the exact order he did them. We need to see that mind-blowing stuff is a real possibility, and a live demo is the way to show that – it’s what worked for the original iPhone. That would really set it apart from Meta’s presentations about the Metaverse that tend to show just the ‘potential’ for what can be done – which is why people are so suspicious of the idea of these headsets taking off with the wider world. You might think there’s no reason not to just have it all recorded – but depending on exactly what Apple’s mixed-reality headset can do, it might be more impressive to have someone on-stage demoing it, with a screen behind showing what they’re seeing in real time. One of the interesting questions for today’s keynote is whether it’ll be all pre-recorded, as recent events have been, or whether there’ll be some kind of live element. We were on the ground as it happened, so you can read our live thoughts and verdicts below. We also got the big-screen 15-inch MacBook Air that we anticipated, as well as an update to the Mac Studio compact pro desktop.Ĭheck out all of our updates below and read our in-depth hands-on look at all of the new products. We also got a new Mac Pro with Apple's M2 chips inside, finally completing the switchover from Intel to Apple silicon. Of course, those weren't the only big hardware announcements. We also got our first glimpse of the underpinning OS, the new Vision OS. The biggest news, of course, came at the very end when Tim Cook finally revealed the Apple VR headset, the Apple Vision Pro. Even if we hadn't gotten one more thing, for that alone we would have been thankful. Starting with new voice mail features for iOS 17, a new name for macOS 14, video conferencing for tvOS 17, widgets and wallpapers for iPadOS 17, and full screen app updates on watchOS 10. There wasn't a corner of Apple's world that wasn't explored at WWDC 2023, and some new additions were made. You can read the full rundown from our arrival at One Infinite Loop to our hands-on with the new products. You can read our full breakdown of all the WWDC 2023 news, and here we have our Live Blog recording the most important moments and our gut reactions as they happened. Apple CEO Tim Cook started by saying it would be one of Apple's biggest days ever, and it's hard to dispute that claim based on what we've seen. Apple's World Wide Developers Conference has just begun, but our day of keynote speeches and major announcements is over, and what a day it was.
