Apple today held the WWDC 2023 keynote event that saw the introduction of the Apple Vision Pro headset, the 15-inch MacBook Air, new versions of the Mac Pro and Mac Studio, iOS 17, macOS Sonoma, watchOS 10, and more.


This was an insane event that was so fast-paced it was tough to keep up with everything that was being announced. iOS 17 and macOS Sonoma only starred in a few minutes of the keynote, so there were a lot of things that went under the radar. We've recapped everything that was announced in the video up above, and we've also rounded up all of our coverage of Apple's announcements to give you a complete overview of everything that's worth knowing about.

I’m curious of the apple crowd on here, who of you would pay this price?
I mean vision pro looks cool, I can imagine working with it and obviously watch a movie and gaming. For $2000 I would have not thought twice about but.. $3500 is just a lot.. for a toy..
who else had to laugh when they showed that guy film his kids with it? None will pull out these things at a kids birthday..way to creepy

we still dont have the ability to use external storage on iPad.

so NO. Apple did not give us everything we wanted.

On The new Mac Pro. No way to upgrade the CPU using modular connections. No upgrading the RAM either.

For $3000 less the Mac Studio M2 Ultra is the way to go.

And Next year The M3 Mac Studio Ultra.

Is anyone out there feeling annoyed looking at Vision Pro Battery Pack? What the heck is this thing?

To top it off there’s a cable 😒

Would you prefer it on the device? Weighing back your head? Compared to the PSVR2, I’d say this one looks pretty light; and I’ll take the pocket battery.

However, I suspect this is the first version they wanted to lead with launching these glasses. There will be other models in the future; especially without the battery in the pocket.

- Vision Pro thing looks…stupid.
- I was hoping the M1 MacBook Air and M2 MacBook Air 13 would each drop in price a bit to make room for the 15, but…no. The MacBook Air 15 is $100 CAN more that the M2 MacBook Pro 13—make of that what you will.
- I’m disappointed the M2 Mac Studio jumped $200 CAN with the upgrade, but the M2 Studio should be even more of a beast than the M1 Studio was.

Most battery packs don't annoy me. Why are you so annoyed? What would you prefer instead?

As far as "What the heck is this thing?", well, umm, it's a battery pack. Battery packs located off the device usually connect with a cable.

The headset relies way too much on Siri. I’ve lived through too many years of that nonsense on phones and homepods to suddenly drop $3,500 for an early adopter toy that features siri front and center. Apple needs to get AI right, quickly.

If that’s the case they need to build a bigger battery pack. Push 2 hours to 4 hours so we can at least finish a Disney movie on a single charge.

I like the path they've set out for the new Vision Pro. Dial up/back AR versus VR. I really, really hope the OLED optics are stellar -- like something you've never seen before. If it can do all that as well as handle work apps, I could see getting one. But would have to try it out extensively first.

But out of the gate, it's all about achieving best-in-class OLED displays, which just blow you away with fidelity. If they can do that, they've got something.
