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

[Natrium]

Apple Vision Pro = glorified 3D cinema glasses with a huge disclaimer: only 2 hours battery life, barely enough for a movie.

 

[Isengardtom]

Micro OLED, defintely a future screen tech for iPads and Macs as well

 

[Janichsan]

From the design, I looks to me as if it's clearly not designed for people with prescription glasses.

To reply to myself: it's not.

Magnetic prescription glass inserts? Sure. That's another $500 on top.

 

[metalsiren]

its going to be expensive so they need the LONG explanation.

 

[ProfessionalFan]

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.

1) That isn't a big drop
2) Again. "Buy on the rumor. Sell on the news" has always been a thing.

 

[Rogifan]

Hah. Cue the Jony Ive-style, deep-voiced British designer presenting the hardware. 😂

I would like to see Evans Hankey do it some time, but she's probably even shyer and more private than Jony was. Apple has been on such a roll lately, hardware-wise, that that must be the only explanation for her not to have filled in his role yet.

She left Apple.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

I like this guy. Like the way he's explaining it.

 

[Polaroid]

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

that's why you buy backup batteries wonder if 3rd party batteries will exist with higher capacities....

 

[The Mercurian]

Reminds me of ATT ads from the early 90s about a hypothetical future of tech.

The plot of the show Caprica (Battlestar Galactica offshoot), was alot about people getting addicted to devices like this and spending more and more time in the virtual world

 

[addamas]

Battery life is a joke…

 

[canadianspeculator]

battery life less than a single movie? people with glasses have to pay more to use the product?

 

[AustinIllini]

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.

Apple could cure cancer and the stock would drop.

 

[jz0309]

Battery life of 2 hours, how are you going to watch Avatar?

 

[KaiFiMacFan]

Here comes the collective gasp at the price…

 

[fel10]

This is going to cost more than a full upgraded Mac Pro

 

[brandonnnnnnn]

How many people are preordering?

 

[tonie walker]

with all these technology seems $2999 is a reality

 

[glsillygili]

"Supple woven cable."

Can you not tho...

That was a super bizarre word choice.

 

[Anappleaday29]

Vision pro. hm. I would be fully immersed in F1 and the World Endurance Championship with these bad boys.

 

[AustinIllini]

This thing is SO thirsty.

 

[Orange Bat]

This thing looks really cool and interesting, and yet also creepy and dystopian in some way. It’s kinda breaking my brain.

 

[MacRetina]

I can't finish watching Lord of the Rings without extra battery 😢

 

[_Spinn_]

As someone who wears glasses this is doa for me.

 

[deebinem]

Battery life of 2 hours, how are you going to watch Avatar?

While plugged in, which they mentioned right before the battery pack.

 

[Mr. Dee]

This thing is probably 10,000 dollars, Apple has to make back the money it spent on development.
