WWDC 2023 Recap: Everything Apple Announced Today

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.

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.

One thing I missed was hearing from Johny Srouji and his beautifully spoken Apple silicon details. Maybe next time.
