This is true. Lot of low hanging fruit. The ability to schedule email? Should have been released five years ago.
Dan and his team always do a great job with these videos. So useful and without the Apple fluff.
It looks to be a HUGE waste of desk space to be honest. I do not think I will use it. I do not use mail or Safari either so not anything that really excites me about the new MacOS.
100% agree. Nothing really exciting. I have a 16inch Macbook M1 Pro, the air is super nice looking but not something I would purchase.
Yes, Apple has been selling the iphone 7 in years after it's initial release in 2015. Even though you were able to buy it out of the box new, in 2020, which did surprise me, it's still a 7 year old phone.
Straw-man. The cleanliness of my room is in no way equated to the look and feel of an Apple event. You are well within your rights to have an opinion on the dress of the presenters...it's not one that I share. Frankly, I don't need to see Apple executives in $5,000 Armani suits. You may have noticed that Mr. Cook does dress event appropriate.
But I think the dress complements the relaxed atmosphere of the event, which included a surprising number of announcements.

I agree that it's stupid to compare prices so far back as the original MBA, but it's equally stupid to ignore the most recent update when it went from a feeble Intel i3 ultra-low-power chip to a M1 that put it into a whole new performance league without a price increase. So, no, it's not unreasonable to expect a significant tech update without a price increase.
Reality is, though, since it settled down as the "entry level" MacBook ~2013 the base model Air has vaccilated between $999 and $1199 as specs have come and gone (including new processors and even the retina display), so pick whichever two models prove the point you want to make. A re-designed M2 Air at $999 wasn't an unreasonable expectation - but a re-designed M2 Air at $1199 isn't a big surprise either.
Of course, many people outside the US have got a double whammy as Apple have clearly revised their exchange rates...
What's a bit messy is keeping the M1 Air and doing the M2 13" pro - I suspect that the M1 Air will softly and silently vanish away after the US "Back to School" season (during which it will probably see a lot of discounts). The M2 13" MBP - all I can imagine is that Apple sells enough 13" low-end MBPs to make it worth keeping.
It reminds me of the M1, with the regular M1 being launched in Nov 2020, the M1 Pro & Max in October 2021 and the M1 Ultra in March 2022.
What else were people expecting?
It actually makes sense with Apple Silicon where each chip is very much built on the one before with more bits bolted on...
Basically nothing new just updates, bug fixes and more of the same.
Apple today held a keynote event that saw the introduction of iOS 16, iPadOS 16, macOS 13 Ventura, watchOS 9, and the new M2 Apple silicon chip, which is soon-to-be available in the MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro.

Last new stuff was M1 and Fitness.
All the focus stuff and changing prefs on wake up screen - that's developers doing stuff because it's easy to do not because anyone has much use for it. They're trying to prevent people turning off their phones and using some pretty basic functions to do it. Not useful because if you have to continually monitor 10 different things that may be turned on or turned off you're basically a computer engineer. I don't know how many times I've gone to change settings on my Mum's phone because she didn't get that message at the airport because a Focus was switched on.
All the rest is updates - iPhoto cloud sharing come on!? That was meant to have been implemented 5 or 10 years ago and has been losing my and everybody else's photos and videos and duplicating and duplicating everything else ad infinitum ever since. Nope I don't want Apple to decide if my screenshot is important or not.
Email search? How about just downloading emails in a timely manner and making them instantly searchable. Instead the latest thing is every few days you open Mail and all your predefined search mailboxes are empty for several hours while Mail decides it's going to do something else (rebuild the search database, perhaps?) and search doesn't work either. Only solution go straight to Gmail in browser.
Basically this is what happens when you let everyone work from home.
It's not a strawman. How you dress and convey yourself, how you keep your room, etc., is all relevant. All of it. He doesn't need a suit--he SHOULD dress age appropriate and professionally, however. Nice pair of slacks and a shirt is fine--not skate park dress.
I really wish "Center Stage" was more of a "Save State" for specific tasks. All of these features like (expose, spaces, etc) don't really reduce the number of windows, it only hides/reshuffles them. A Save States feature would give you the option to organize tabs/files/windows/applications according to whatever tasks or projects you are currently working on. For example if you are an editor... having your websites, references and project files in one state versus that of a different project or even online shopping. You would be able to hop between the save states the same as when your Mac restarts and reopens all of the previous windows.
Good recap. Good updates to iOS lock screen. Still waiting for a calculator app from Apple for iPad. Hopefully next year!
Different strokes for different folks. Apple is not likely to change dress-code due to MR forum posters. They pretty much have the formula down pat. It’s of course up to you as to whether the skate park dress is so annoying as to not watch the keynotes.
Hopefully your issue with apple keynote dress code didn’t overshadow the loads of announcements.
Yep, I like the looks of the Air. Maybe the black color coming to the MBP in the future. I was really looking forward to a Mac Pro announcement but I guess we have to wait until October.
Stage Manager provides the exact same organizational aspects as expose+spaces but with a preview of window stacks along the left edge. A waste of space IMO. I am curious how it interacts with expose/spaces and multiple displays.
I was confused why they wasted development effort on it unless it was something to do with the average user not discovering those features as a rebranding of expose+spaces. Every power user/developer I know heavily uses those and this is unlikely to convert them over IMO.
Then I saw they were adding it to iPadOS. Really it is just solving the same problem but with an iPad interface (where there isn't an assumed keyboard to activate it) and was probably done as an iPad first feature; They just cloned it over to macOs for "consistency".
This why I don’t like rumors all over internet saying leaks of interactive widgets, always on screen, new notifications and new messaging features.
There was even talk of new control center.
When you watching the keynotes waiting for when Apple is to bring out and the rumors get it wrong.

When I first saw state manager that is what I thought of at first of like work spaces like in Windows 11 and Linux where you can make more than one desktop and organize your work flow of running apps. Where desktop one has two apps running, desktop two has five apps running, desktop three has three apps running and desktop four has one app running. All floating windows where you can organize your running apps.
What Apple is giving is more like running app switcher.
