How about you?&#8221; Image credit: Apple<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Apple World Wide Developer&#8217;s Conference keynote presentation has come and gone, and I&#8217;m still processing the deluge of announcements made in the rather lengthy two hour keynote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No doubt, the most talked about device of this year&#8217;s WWDC keynote will be Apple&#8217;s new VisionPro. Call me a skeptic (or a fuddy duddy), but I&#8217;m less enthused about Apple&#8217;s new entry into &#8220;spatial computing.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-space-case-of-a-device\">A space case of a device&#8230;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While I can see certain appeal in strapping on a pair of goggles to escape the confines of reality while on a lengthy flight, the potential teased in Apple&#8217;s own videos felt like the introduction to a new dystopian era. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Technology, as Apple has emphasized numerous times in the past, is a tool that is meant to<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/85994-apple-unveils-ios-17-an-update-focused-on-bringing-people-closer-together\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"85994\" target=\"_blank\"> bring people together<\/a>. In light of those previous statements, the scene shown during the keynote of the dad wearing a headset while floating around his daughters playing in front of him to &#8220;capture the moment&#8221;, could not have seemed more out of touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my humble view, Apple has made a novelty and nothing more. The company spent almost an hour trying to sell the<em>\u2015<\/em><strong><em>ahem<\/em><\/strong><em>\u2015<\/em> vision of the VisionPro, and (pardon the pun) I&#8217;m just not <em>seeing<\/em> it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-with-lots-of-questions-to-answer\">&#8230;with lots of questions to answer.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if I could get past the princely sum of $3500, I can&#8217;t fathom anyone clamoring to wear a bulky device just to fiddle about with virtual screens, attend Zoom meetings, or shift between Word and Excel in a virtual environment. Imagine saying, &#8220;I need to check out those numbers before this next call&#8230;oh wait&#8230;gotta slip on the &#8216;ol headset first!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"980\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Apple-WWCD23-Vision-Pro-lifestyle-working-230605_big.jpg.large_.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Apple-WWCD23-Vision-Pro-lifestyle-working-230605_big.jpg.large_.jpg 980w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Apple-WWCD23-Vision-Pro-lifestyle-working-230605_big.jpg.large_-180x120.jpg 180w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Apple-WWCD23-Vision-Pro-lifestyle-working-230605_big.jpg.large_-284x189.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Apple-WWCD23-Vision-Pro-lifestyle-working-230605_big.jpg.large_-190x127.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Apple-WWCD23-Vision-Pro-lifestyle-working-230605_big.jpg.large_-180x120@2x.jpg 360w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Apple-WWCD23-Vision-Pro-lifestyle-working-230605_big.jpg.large_-284x189@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Apple-WWCD23-Vision-Pro-lifestyle-working-230605_big.jpg.large_-190x127@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><figcaption>The future of work?

For those who have limited mobility, the Apple VisionPro offers some tantalizing possibilities. Using one&#8217;s eyes, voice and fingers alone for general computing can really help accessibility. I wish Apple had promoted this aspect within their promotional video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One other limiting factor is the battery life. The device doesn&#8217;t have an on-board battery. Instead, it must be plugged into a power supply, or used with a portable battery seen in this image from Apple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"980\" height=\"551\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Apple-WWCD23-Vision-Pro-with-battery-230605_big.jpg.large_.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86025\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Apple-WWCD23-Vision-Pro-with-battery-230605_big.jpg.large_.jpg 980w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Apple-WWCD23-Vision-Pro-with-battery-230605_big.jpg.large_-213x120.jpg 213w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Apple-WWCD23-Vision-Pro-with-battery-230605_big.jpg.large_-284x160.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Apple-WWCD23-Vision-Pro-with-battery-230605_big.jpg.large_-190x107.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Apple-WWCD23-Vision-Pro-with-battery-230605_big.jpg.large_-750x421.jpg 750w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Apple-WWCD23-Vision-Pro-with-battery-230605_big.jpg.large_-548x308.jpg 548w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Apple-WWCD23-Vision-Pro-with-battery-230605_big.jpg.large_-364x204.jpg 364w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Apple-WWCD23-Vision-Pro-with-battery-230605_big.jpg.large_-230x129.jpg 230w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Apple-WWCD23-Vision-Pro-with-battery-230605_big.jpg.large_-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Apple-WWCD23-Vision-Pro-with-battery-230605_big.jpg.large_-213x120@2x.jpg 426w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Apple-WWCD23-Vision-Pro-with-battery-230605_big.jpg.large_-284x160@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Apple-WWCD23-Vision-Pro-with-battery-230605_big.jpg.large_-190x107@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><figcaption>Image credit: Apple<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple says battery life with the portable battery pack is 2 hours. That doesn&#8217;t seem like a lot of battery for a device that is supposed to be immersive, but I suppose we&#8217;ll have to wait and see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also unknown are what the long term effects will be on one&#8217;s eyesight while using the VisionPro for lengthy periods of time. Earlier in the keynote, Apple announced new features in the Health app for iOS and iPadOS that will monitor how close you&#8217;re viewing an iPhone or iPad from your eyes. They said viewing a device too closely can cause eyestrain in adults and myopia in children. And within an hour they were asking that we strap screens <em>inches<\/em> from our eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mac-musings-from-wwdc-2023\">Mac musings from WWDC 2023<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Turning attention to other areas, I will admit that I died inside a little when Apple Software Chief Craig Federighi kicked off his macOS Sonoma presentation by announcing slow-motion screensavers. Screensavers? <em>Really?<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that wasn&#8217;t disheartening enough, the &#8220;hold my beer&#8221; moment was when Apple spent a whopping 5 minutes touting system-wide stickers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The oldest Mac that is officially supported by macOS Sonoma is the 2017 iMac Pro.

The rest of us will have to bury our pipe-dreams of buying an affordable and expandable Mac and steer our dollars \/ pounds \/ euros towards its smaller brother,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.owc.com\/blog\/mac-studio-gets-its-first-big-update-with-m2-max-and-m2-ultra\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> the Mac Studio<\/a>. I&#8217;m not decrying the Mac Studio (I think it&#8217;s a solid device, from what I&#8217;ve seen and read) but I do miss having expansion slots. <em>Oh well.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And speaking of the newly announced M2 Max and M2 Ultra Mac Studio, I really wish Apple would bump up their base M2 Max configuration from 512GB to 1TB. With a starting price of $1999, there&#8217;s really no excuse not to do so, besides greed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those seeking a new laptop, I think the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/85969-apple-unveils-15-inch-macbook-air\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"85969\" target=\"_blank\">new 15&#8243; MacBook Air ticks a lot of boxes<\/a>. I like the larger screen size, and applaud Apple&#8217;s decision to include a headphone jack. This model would be a slam dunk purchasing decision, were it not for the meager 8GB RAM spec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-mobile-oses\">The mobile OSes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If I had to sum up the next versions of watchOS, iPadOS and iOS collectively, in one word, it would be &#8220;widgets.&#8221; They seem to be infiltrating more and more parts of each of Apple&#8217;s three mobile OSes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I suppose the new ability to include widgets in the lock screen of the iPad will make some folks happy, but I remain ambivalent. I&#8217;m glad that users can finally interact with widgets directly as well, instead of a tap taking the user directly to an app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One under-the-radar feature that I do find value in is Safari&#8217;s ability to autofill verification codes that are received in Apple Mail. Presumably this feature will come to iOS and macOS as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The inclusion of SmartStacks in watchOS (turning the Digital Crown to reveal&#8230; widgets) will make it much easier to get to information when using the Apple Watch. As a frequent cyclist, I am looking forward to testing the new Cycling metrics to measure my cadence, speed and power during my rides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/85994-apple-unveils-ios-17-an-update-focused-on-bringing-people-closer-together\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"85994\" target=\"_blank\">As far as iOS goes<\/a>, I do like the live audio message transcription feature in iOS 17.
