WWDC 2023 Apple Event Live Keynote Coverage: Headset, iOS 17, New Macs, and More

[_Spinn_]

Boo, you need to get lenses for the headset. Yuck, external battery and only a few hours of battery life.

 

[sjsharksfan12]

So they have made corrective lenses for people with Glasses? That's pretty cool

And it's a battery that is connected and a pretty small one at that.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

LOL! External separate battery pack?

 

[Lioness~]

Wonder how much it costs to repair Vision Pro.

Wonder how much they will be sued for all accidents it will cause?

 

[greenmeanie]

Is everyone into Disney?

Creepy people are.

 

[fel10]

Anybody else going to wait for the second gen?

 

[Saturnine]

He may sound like Jony Ive but Ive is from London and this guy is almost definitely originally from the North. It’s not obvious with his neutral accent but there were a couple of giveaway words.

 

[jmgregory1]

Just wait until Samsung comes out with their folding version of their AR glasses…

 

[naturalstar]

Love the consideration for those of us who wear corrective lenses.

 

[Realityck]

Describing the physical design of Vision Pro, allow the addition of custom vision lenses for people that need corrected vision.

 

[Polaroid]

LOL! External separate battery pack?

makes sense not to have that weight on your face/head....

 

[JPack]

"Supple woven cable"

That's how I'll describe my Apple USB-C cable next time.

 

[votdfak]

Primitive tech. LOL

 

[Aeryn]

I still use wired earbuds…I just had a vision of getting that battery cable caught on something while walking around.

 

[deebinem]

Finally, the announcement of the M2 Super-Mega-Ultra-Awesome chip

 

[AustinIllini]

Can’t believe the negativity here(well, ok I can)…….this thing looks extraordinary, this is like something from an 1980s Sci-Fi movie……bring it the **** on!

It looks like iPhone 2G or the original iPad.

Give it a generation (preferably 2).

 

[applepie2100]

So as a glasses wearer I can I shell out for a specific band and prescription lenses for this thing?

The credit card company will think I've gone mad.

 

[Orange Bat]

Apple stock almost hit $185 at the start of the presentation. It’s almost $181 as I post. That’s a big drop. Investors don’t care for Vision Pro so far.

 

[BornAgainMac]

It looks like that Remote Desktop product that Apple had years ago (maybe they still have it).

 

[alexandr]

Sneakers... Sneakers... Sneakers... Maybe for the next WWDC they will limit presentors to shoes available at Payless. I guess at this level what shoes you wear is very important. Just seems distratracting to me.

Can they be sneakers that are available at Payless, or are you firm on this?

 

[fel10]

$200 or im not buying it

 

[JTK Awesome]

So this is the Pro version… what does the base model give you? Tim's eyeglasses?

They’re like the Pro except the only image they show you is the Pro model, and the only App is Apple Wallet so you can cough up the credit to buy the Pro.

 

[Rogifan]

What? That's the advantage. It's your phone, ipad, mac, TV, and more. All in one display you can take with you in the space decent headphones use. It's the biggest shift in computing and entertainment in at least a generation. 3D omnimax with the portability of a cell phone. 8 50" displays around your office but that pack up into your overnight bag. Truly insane that there are people who don't get it. Will this gen 1 device be perfect? Absolutely not. But is AR/MR the future of all computing/displays? Without a doubt.

Like seriously? "what's the advantage?" of carrying large displays with you instead of squinting at your phone? Or hunching over your laptop? Just the posture advantages to long term health are revolutionary.

But you have to wear big, bulky googles on your face. Who wants to do that?

 

[votdfak]

makes sense not to have that weight on your face/head....

2hrs of juice... you cannot finish any decent movie...
