The headset will certainly be interesting and a sign of what is to come for the future. I don’t think this gen will be much for current people but more to see where it will head in the end.
 
People who have attended these previously say it's not so bad. You get plenty of the old clapping and audience reactions to the pre-recorded video. It sucks that all of us watching remote don't get to hear the audience noise anymore though.

The original iPhone unveiling would have felt a lot less special if it was done the new way. The way Jobs worked the audience is truly unforgettable.
I didn’t like the audience noise! It felt way too fawning. It’s a product of a massive corporation not a rally.

Maybe it’s because I’m British, I don’t know.

I prefer the prerecorded films now, they feel way more slicker than people going ummm and ahhh on stage (as you’d expect with anyone speaking live) along the occasional bug and mishap.
 
The graphics looks like we will be immersed with a screen in front of our eyes, VR for sure
 
We're obviously not looking at the same data.

2,060 deaths last week. 1 year ago, there were 5,623 deaths. How is the death rate, in your words, the same? It was more than 2x higher a year ago... close to 3x what it was last week.

The word you're looking for is "endemic"
It's the same as it was approximately a year ago. Just scooch to the right of where you highlighted a bit. We can quibble over which part of the initial Omicron wave curve you picked but the point is that since then the levels have been static and high. If it's endemic everywhere it's a pandemic. And honestly I don't know what difference it would make if it were only endemic to the US when the US is where I and many others using this forum are (and where the event in question is). It's like if you were in areas of Africa where malaria is endemic and said well we don't have to worry it's just endemic here where I am in Africa. Well, we're in the US where Covid is endemic, to use your thinking of it, so it matters (although again I don't know why you would say endemic when it still is pandemic—across all areas of the world).

Yeah WWDC is pretty boring compared to the Job’s era. I used to have a gear orgasm when I saw the “one more thing” on the screen.
All of apple’s current main live presenters are fantastic but jobs was a true master at it.

I like how the prerecorded format allows Apple to have both more presenters and more diverse ones too.

It's super annoying that they didn't post the picture of the graphic and instead only included a video That's not the mac rumors that I know
 
The spaceship might look like a giant aquarium soon the way it’s raining here, maybe Tim can show us how well the Apple Watch ultra does at diving in the new apple lake in Cupertino.
 


Apple today announced that its 34th annual Worldwide Developers Conference will take place from Monday, June 5 to Friday, June 9. Like WWDC 2020, 2021, and 2022, WWDC 2023 will be an online event for the most part, and it will be open to all developers at no cost.


Apple will provide online sessions and labs, which will allow developers to learn about the new features and software that will be announced at WWDC. There will also be a traditional Swift Student Challenge, with Apple accepting applications through April 19.

While WWDC 2023 will once again be held online, Apple is planning an all-day special event for select developers and students, which will take place at June 5 at the Apple Park campus. Attendees will be able to watch the keynote and State of the Union videos, meet some Apple employees, and attend the Apple Design Awards. Apple held a similar in-person event last year.

Current Apple Developer Program members, Apple Entrepreneur Camp alumni, prior Swift Student Challenge winners, and current Apple Developer Enterprise Program members can submit a request to attend the Apple Park event. Apple plans to select attendees by random lottery, with notifications set to go out by April 5 at 6:00 p.m.

Apple will hold a keynote event on Monday, June 5 to show off iOS 17, iPadOS 17, tvOS 17, watchOS 10, and macOS 14, plus there could be new hardware announcements. This year's event is expected to focus on the AR/VR headset that Apple has in development, and we could also see the Mac Pro and a 15-inch MacBook Air.

Prior to 2020, WWDC was an in-person event that was held at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, but even with the COVID-19 pandemic over, Apple is choosing an online-focused event. The online format allows more developers to get the WWDC experience as there are no attendance limitations.

Apple plans to provide developers with additional information in advance of WWDC 2023 through email, the Apple Developer app, and the Apple Developer website.

Apple: here is what we are planning to remove or make more complicated to make your life easier. $1000 more for less, please.
 
Steve Jobs told him not to try to think what he would do, but to follow his own path.

He has done that rather well


Cook stepped in and calmed Wall Street concerns about Apple without Steve Jobs at the helm.

Tim Cook's leadership is considered one of the great success stories in this century

Cook and the executive management give their product leads the visionary direction, financing, staffing, and tools to make their project successful. ... This type of management style is being studied now in business schools and other board rooms

major shift to create their own silicon.


Another article listed him as one of the best CEOs of the century. Unfortunately can't find it.

Not questioning any of that. Just his ability to give a convincing presentation of a new product to a skeptical public in a way that makes it interesting. The only thing it really has to do with Jobs is that he was a tough act to follow.

You could say we get to know more people that are involved with software/hardware decisions at Apple rather than what people saw years ago. Makes a very large, involved company such as Apple more down to earth IMHO.

Exactly this, it's still an ongoing pandemic. We can argue over graphs all we like, people might like to think it's over by their own definitions and interpretations, but the statement in the original article is factually incorrect.
 
Apple will need to sell me on my need for a VR Headset. That said, I hope they announce a release date for Masters of the Air and For All Mankind!

It’s time for „self resizing tabs“ in the finder app! How complicated can that be?
Not complicated, but also may just be a choice to avoid the behavior of serial tab hoarders in web browsers being replicated in Finder.

I’m always amazed walking up to someone at work with 20+ tabs open, as if it’s *really* a useful way to get things done. Then I laugh (to myself) as they peck through the tiny tabs to get to what they were looking for.
 
I enjoy Stage Manager and am looking forward to the next iteration in iPadOS17.
Wouldn’t it be better to allow iPadOS 17 GUI to be like that without the same hardware requirements. After all older MacOS versions used less RAM and SSD size’s successfully. Then continue same touch control methods. Stage Manger should be a example, not the end game with iPadOS 17.
 
AR Headset, iMac with curved screen possibly 34", studio display of same size, Mac Pro with 6 CPU's or 6x the power of everything else, and 2 other items (new OS and introducing Apple Bank). ... all equal to 6 new items.... and/or possibly a new AppleTv too that now supports 6K.

I've read someone on Reddit complaining he will only buy a Studio Display v2 if it's 34". As 34" is really the standard in 2023 and 27" starting to feel too small. I agree with that.

Let's hope they will release a larger model because the XDR was only 32".

That’s a different subject and not really relevant to my enjoying StageManager. Stage Manager isn’t the end game any more than SplitScreen was the end game, and just like SplitScreen, Stage Manager will evolve over time.
