It wasn't insane, it was INCREDIBLE.
Agree.
I think there was a week in May that will count as our allotted summer … 🤣
Ummm….because many people are not happy about the direction the company has taken? You know…just because you like it doesn’t mean other people can’t say they don’t. One could say…why is it always the same cynical comments by more hardened fans get upvoted? It cuts both ways mate!
We should absolutely be critical of Apple! But it’s important to discuss both what we perceive Apple is doing poorly AND doing well in a nuanced manner. I guess what I mean to say is that there should be constructive points brought up for discourse and conversation and not simply comments like “Apple doesn’t innovate” that bring nothing useful to the table. I enjoy and welcome different perspectives and viewpoints and rather take part in engaging discussions than just bear witness to a smorgasbord of blanket statements that don’t bring value to the discussions at hand. Above all, we should be respectful of each other’s opinions and respect that everyone has different expectations, values, and perspectives!
I don't know who the guest(s) was/were but it did take place. I haven't seen it posted yet.
Agreed. When did sandals with socks become a thing again? No-one would be caught dead with that combo, back in my day...
My #1 missing feature: Can Apple please add the ability to access your iPhone to Apple Vision Pro, like you will be able to on the Mac? It is VERY hard to use your iPhone while using AVP.
Maaaaan, tough crowd here! I really liked the event and thought it was one of the best since COVID. YMMV
I’m glad I share the same type of knees as Hartley. 😆
The western part of Europe has been bad in general. While Eastern Europe is super hot
HomePod is so weak, it needs a total lift not an update. I asked it a question and Siri responded sure I’ll send the info to your Mac, what? Really, im in another room away from my iPhone and Mac, can’t Siri read it to me?
These "zoomer kids" are like reinventing the 1980s and not even slightly aware. STG most of them are dressed like they're about to go out on their yacht.
Yeah, something feels off about MacRumors since WWDC this week. Maybe it’s the constant posts for every little software feature (such as “iOS 18's New Game Mode Makes iPhones Faster and More Responsive” and “Apple Maps Rivals AllTrails on iOS 18 With New Hiking Features in U.S.”) makes it feel like they are trying to sell me on something rather than just reporting independently. This coupled with actually being invited to record in Apple’s HQ makes it seem like they are acting more as a mouthpiece for Apple rather than an independent party. More so than usual anyway. Hopefully this trend doesn’t continue or get worse.
My favorite WWDC announcement was that Hartley got to try a Vision Pro. He’s a great journalist and just one of the many reasons we keep coming back.
This trend has been happening with all of journalism. Companies have realized their marketing is more effective if they subvert journalism in a democracy. Eventually almost everything will become a mouthpiece for the corporations. This is a hallmark of late-stage capitalism, and is a necessary step to usher in the collapse of modern society. That and AI eating the economy from the bottom up while destroying the environment via absurd power requirements.
