Let us help AppleEverything Apple Announced at WWDC 2023 Vision Pro VR Headset, New Macs, and More[Sign up for Wirecutter's newsletter to get independent reviews, expert advice, and the very best deals sent straight to your inbox.]Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference is usually where the company shows off all the new software features coming to iPhones, iPads, Macs, and this year Apple launched an entirely new type of device at its usually software-focused event an AR/VR headset. Here’s everything Apple announced at WWDC, from the Apple Vision Pro to iOS biggest One More Thing Apple Vision Pro Photo AppleApple’s long-rumored virtual reality and augmented reality headset is officially here. The Apple Vision Pro, which goes on sale early next year for $3,500, is what CEO Tim Cook calls the first Apple product you look through, rather than look at. It’s shaping up to be the slimmest mixed-reality headset released so far, and during the presentation, Apple showed off the ability to use the device like a laptop, a TV screen, and a gaming and display Photo AppleThe Vision Pro is a headset designed by Apple, so it has a distinctly Apple aesthetic. The display, which consists of a glass front and an aluminum frame, connects to a soft headband that the wearer can adjust for better fit or swap out. The headset has a thin braided cable that attaches to an external aluminum battery pack the size of a deck of cards, which the wearer can slip into a pocket. Apple claims that it studied thousands of heads as part of its research in designing the headset. Folks who wear glasses will be able to use the headset, too—Apple partnered with Zeiss to develop custom optical inserts to magnetically fit inside the display. Those inserts will be sold separately, though, and it’s unclear how much they’ll Apple Vision Pro has a feature called EyeSight, which lets you control the transparency of its display using a digital crown, much like on the Apple Watch. The opacity ranges from an augmented reality view, where you can fully see your room through cameras and people can see your eyes on the external display, to an opaque virtual reality mode that you can set for a more immersive Pro apps and how to use them Photo AppleApple wants the Vision Pro to span work and entertainment. The headset wirelessly and automatically connects to a Mac, and you can take over your computer’s desktop as well as all of its processing power when wearing the headset. At WWDC, Apple showed off the headset as a tool for running more interactive meetings and working with colleagues, but the company also demonstrated how the headset could create a portable cinema and gaming control the Vision Pro through hand gestures, eye movements, and your voice. Apple calls the technology “spatial computing,” and during the presentation, Cook likened it to a new generation of computing, much as the smartphone headset tracks a tremendous amount of data using lidar, a TrueDepth camera, and many other cameras to track hand movement. The Vision Pro has an M2 chip inside, as the latest Macs do, but it’s also powered by a new chip called the R1, which processes the data from 12 cameras, five sensors, and six microphones in real time. The Vision Pro also has a 3D camera, which can record 3D-format video that you can rewatch on the you set up the Vision Pro, it uses its cameras and sensors to create your “persona,” which will appear in FaceTime calls and other situations when you’re virtually “with” another person. Your persona is essentially a 3D capture of your likeness. Whether that avatar has legs is currently operating system on the device, visionOS, has a number of processes to specifically handle all the cameras and the timing needs to coordinate all the hardware packed into the headset. The new headset supports apps, which you install from a new visionOS app store. When you slip the headset on, apps appear levitating in front of you, and you can select them using your eye movements, hand gestures, or voice. You’ll also be able to interact with existing Apple apps like Messages and Safari in different ways, such as pulling a 3D object out of Messages to view it on its own. Because Apple gave early access to the Vision Pro to high-profile developers, Microsoft apps such as Excel and Word, for example, are already a huge move, Apple has partnered with Disney to make Disney+ available on the Vision Pro at launch. Disney CEO Bob Iger appeared at WWDC to show the ways in which Disney characters like Mickey Mouse could appear in augmented reality on the M2 MacBook Air Photo AppleApple’s latest MacBook Air is a big one The 15-inch M2 MacBook Air is a larger version of our upgrade pick, the 13-inch M2 MacBook Air. The new laptop will have the same layout as its 13-inch sibling, with two USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports, a MagSafe port for charging, and a headphone jack. Its screen is capable of 500 nits of brightness, which makes it great for typing in bright conditions which would have come in handy here on the ground at Apple Park, to be honest. It will cost $1,300 when it goes on sale next week, and the 13-inch M2 MacBook Air will get a price reduction to $1,100. The new MacBook Air is available to preorder Studio and Mac Pro Photo AppleApple is also releasing the second generation of the Mac Studio, built on the ultra-powerful M2 Max and M2 Ultra chips. The new Mac Studio will be capable of using 192 GB of unified memory, a few levels beyond the 8 GB to 16 GB of RAM that we recommend for most computers. Apple says that the new Mac Studio can support up to six Pro Display XDR displays. The Mac Studio starts at $2,000 and goes on sale next custom chips are also surprisingly making their way to the Mac Pro, the wildly powerful computer typically sold to enterprise customers such as film and animation studios. The new Mac Pro will be outfitted with the M2 Ultra chip, which Apple says is capable of importing 24 separate 4K camera feeds and encoding them to the ProRes format in real time. The new Mac Pro will have eight Thunderbolt 4 ports and six open PCI-e expansion slots. Apple says that with this latest announcement the company’s transition of its product line to Apple silicon is complete. The Mac Pro starts at a breathtakingly high $7,000 when it goes on sale next 17 Stickers, StandBy, and Siri Photo AppleiOS 17 is coming, and it’s packed with small improvements that will make using your iPhone easier—and more fun. Here are the biggest features you can expect to take advantage of this fallApple is adding Contact Posters, which you can create to share a photo and text to display when you’re calling a contact. The customization looks a lot like what Apple released for the lock screen and home screen last year, so you can expect similar levels of artistic expression. Contact Posters will also be available within individual you miss or dodge a call, Apple will start automatically transcribing the voicemail in real time, so you can read what the voicemail contains as the caller is recording it. This is an advanced way to screen calls that you might not want to pick up. You’ll also be able to leave FaceTime voicemails in the form of short video new safety feature called Check In, which activates while you’re driving, can automatically notify family members or friends when you safely arrive at a location. Those you invite to track you can see your route, how much cell service you have, and your phone’s battery level. If you intentionally deviate from your route or stop, Check In can also send your contacts an alert so that they don’t you tend to spend hours lovingly creating Memojis that look just like you to share with friends, you’ll probably love Apple’s new Stickers feature, which lets you make, well, stickers out of Live Photos. You can then send them to friends in is adding a new feature to AirDrop called NameDrop, which is a new way of sharing contact information with others. You’ll be able to customize the Contact Poster and contact information you share. In a huge update, AirDrop will also be able to continue over the internet if your phones or devices leave autocorrect is getting overhauled in iOS 17. The artificial intelligence that powers transcription on iOS is receiving an upgrade such that it will learn the words and phrases you use most often so it won’t change your intended curse word to “ducking,” for instance.The next version of iOS will also include Journal, a new multimedia journaling app designed to preserve memories in a more structured way than just looking back through your photo iOS 17, iPhones will have a new mode called StandBy. When the screen is off and you turn the phone horizontally, a screen with a clock and perhaps a widget, if you so choose will appear. The new mode is oriented towards at-a-glance information, as it also supports live activities and of the voice assistant, you’ll finally be able to drop the “Hey” from “Hey Siri,” and you’ll be able to ask two questions in Sonoma Desktop widgets and more Photo AppleThe latest version of macOS, called Sonoma, will bring the Mac ever closer to the iPhone. The biggest feature is the addition of widgets, which you’ll be able to pin directly to your desktop. These desktop widgets will automatically adapt when you switch windows, in an effort to look less distracting. You’ll also be able to access and pin widgets from your iPhone on your MacBook desktop is also still trying to make gaming a thing on Macs. Sonoma adds a Game Mode, which prioritizes a game’s performance over other applications running on the Mac. And Apple is aiming to make game-development time faster and easier for Macs by introducing a game-porting toolkit to bring PC games to video game developer Hideo Kojima appeared at WWDC to announce that Death Stranding Director’s Cut will be coming to Mac later this year. Kojima, best known for the Metal Gear Solid games, said that this is just the beginning of bringing games to the Sonoma also delivers video-conferencing improvements that let you add presentation effects, such as fireworks effects that appear when you’re giving a double thumbs-up, or the ability to put your screen’s contents over your shoulder like a news anchor. You’ll be able to use these effects in any app, including Zoom and Microsoft Safari web browser will add profiles, much like the wildly useful functionality already in Google Chrome; with profiles, you can keep your work and personal browsing separate. Safari will also integrate the ability to share and edit passwords between people. You’ll also be able to pin certain websites to your Mac dock, and macOS will automatically call it up as a web 10 All about health and fitness Photo AppleThe Apple Watch is all about fitness, and soon the smartwatch will be able to connect to bike sensors, which will allow hardcore cyclists to integrate way more data into their tracking. A new cycling Live Activity will also let you use your phone to view trip Compass app is getting a big update to automatically log two waypoints, which will be useful for hikers. The first waypoint will automatically log the last place you had regular cell service, and the second waypoint will be for a previous location where you can make an SOS call. You can view these waypoints within the Compass app in a new 3D Health app is turning into a resource for paying more attention to your mental health, with a mood tracker and screening questionnaires that you can share with your healthcare Apple Watch’s face is about to become more useful, too. A photo that serves as a watch face can be beautiful, but it’s not informative. With watchOS 10, you can use a full-screen photo as a face and then scroll up to reveal a list of suggested widgets and apps. The feature looks a lot like the Siri screen, just implemented in a more dynamic coming soon are new watch-face options Snoopy is coming in a variety of poses, and the watch’s face can even react to the weather. A new option called Palette shows the time in an array of bright colors. But third-party apps still can’t offer watch faces, which is something that developers and Apple Watch owners have been asking for 17 Small changes Photo AppleThis fall, the iPad is getting a software upgrade, too. iPadOS 17 will include changes to the home screen and lock screen. Apple is changing widgets on the iPad by making them interactive, rather than just static buttons or information displays on the home screen. The lock screen’s redesign will include the addition of widgets, Live Activities, and a new astronomy iPad is designed to get work done, and Apple has finally gotten around to reworking the way the tablet handles PDFs. You’ll be able to fill, annotate, and generally work with PDFs better on the iPad. The iPad will also be able to handle live editing of a PDF between two Apple devices over a FaceTime Health app is coming to the iPad, and it’s coming with a new dashboard for the tablet’s larger screen. It’s more focused on data and charts, so you’ll be able to dive into all the health data your Apple Watch top of all that, you’ll be able to set multiple timers at once for the first time, which is game-changing though we’re still unclear as to whether that feature is coming to iPhones, too.Audio improvements AirPods, AirPlay, and Apple TV Photo AppleThe AirPods Pro earbuds are getting some new-to-Apple features. A new “conversation awareness mode” senses when you are talking, automatically lowers your music volume, and turns on the earbuds’ transparency mode. This excellent feature, which enables quick conversations, was popularized by Sony several years adaptive awareness mode reduces low-frequency noises such as airplane engine hum while allowing higher frequencies, such as speech, to reach your ears. JBL and 1More have had a similar setting as part of their ANC options, though Apple seems to be making the transition automatic rather than toggled via button also claims to have improved background-noise reduction over phone calls. The tricky part about noise reduction for microphones is that non-vocal sounds in the same frequency ranges as the human voice may still be picked up when the earbuds’ wearer is speaking. Earbuds can somewhat mitigate this effect with directional beam-forming microphones that aim at the wearer’s mouth, but we’ve never experienced a reduction similar to that affecting the marching-band-level sounds in Apple’s video demo during the WWDC presentation. Regardless, we will be sure to test this function when the update is which lets you easily cast audio and video from your iPhone or iPad to a compatible device, is also getting huge improvements. In hotel rooms, you’ll be able to use AirPlay to send audio or video to the room’s TV by scanning a QR code. CarPlay users will be able to share control of the car’s music with iPhone users using the SharePlay FaceTime is coming to the Apple TV—sort of. The set-top box doesn’t have a camera, so you have to set up your iPhone or iPad to serve as your camera, but then you can see the FaceTime call on your big reporting by Lauren article was edited by Caitlin McGarry.

At WWDC 2023, Apple officially unveiled its new Vision Pro headset, which it describes as a “revolutionary spatial computer.” I was in the crowd at today’s keynote when it was announced, and shortly thereafter, I was whisked away on a golf cart to go try out the Apple Vision Pro. When I arrived at the demo building on the far corner of Apple Park, I was then whisked away once again… into an alternate world powered by visionOS. The setup process When I arrived at Apple’s special demo building, I went through the process of being fitted for Vision Pro. This was done using a simple scanning system on an iPhone 14 that was similar to the process of setting up Face ID on a new iPhone. The next step was setting up Spatial Audio, which consisted of scanning my face and both ears. I had some trouble with the Personalized Spatial Audio part of the setup experience, but it didn’t seem to have an impact on the actual Vision Pro experience. The iPhone 14 just didn’t want to scan my left ear for some reason. I wear contacts rather than glasses, so I didn’t have to go through the vision testing portion of the experience. For those who wear glasses, however, Apple had vision test equipment set up. With the boring stuff out of the way, it was time to try the Vision Pro headset itself. I put it on and adjusted the fit to my liking using the Head Band at the top and the flexible strap around the side. It was surprisingly easy to get a snug fit. Using visionOS From there, I started exploring visionOS, the operating system that powers the Vision Pro headset. In my first interaction, visionOS showed Apple’s iconic “Hello” message floating in space. From there, I was taken to the Home View. The home screen is similar to the honeycomb view on the Apple Watch. I used my eyes to move through the grid of apps. visionOS relies entirely on your eyes, hands, and voice for navigation. I didn’t get to try out any of the voice control features, but the eye and hand control gestures were really impressive. A simple tap of your fingers allows you to select an object. You can zoom in by tapping and pinching just like you would on an iPhone, and you can scroll by flicking your wrist. An open-ended flick of your wrist will activate inertia scrolling just like on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. There’s absolutely a learning curve to figuring out how to navigate around visionOS, but even in my 30 minutes with Vision Pro, I became pretty comfortable with most of the gestures. There were a few times that I selected the wrong thing and ended up in the wrong app, but it was easy enough to navigate back to the home screen by simply pressing the Digital Crown. visionOS allows you to open multiple apps and arrange them as you see fit. The interface for doing this is similar to Stage Manager on the iPad, with a “Window Bar” at the bottom of each app to adjust positioning and an arrow in the corner to adjust the size of each app. You can also bring windows closer to you by tapping with your fingers and pulling them closer. I was really impressed with how well Vision Pro was able to see my hands and respond to the gestures. I could have my hands resting on my lap, seemingly out of sight of the headset. Still, Vision Pro could pick up on any gestures and respond instantaneously. But this is also a double-edged sword. One thing Apple explained to me is that there is a challenge to hand-control gestures because the headset has to be able to discern between intentional movements and unintentional movements. This is similar to something like an iPhone display or a Mac trackpad, where the software has to detect intentional vs unintentional movement. For most people, that learning curve is going to be the most challenging aspect of Vision Pro. I have to imagine that the gestures become second nature at some point, but you’ll have to practice to get there. I’m assuming that visionOS will offer a robust user tutorial on the first run when it launches to customers next year. Apple will also offer demos at its retail stores for customers. Content consumption and environments Apple is pitching content consumption as one of the biggest selling points of Vision Pro, and rightfully so. The experience is absolutely incredible. I had the chance to explore a 3D version of Avatar 2 and was blown away by the immersiveness. You can watch content via Vision Pro in a floating window that you can adjust to your liking, and visionOS will automatically dim the area around that window. You can also put the movie in an environment of your choosing. I got to watch a movie using the Cinema Environment, which made it seem like I was watching in a dedicated home theater. The attention to detail was remarkable, down to acoustic-foam-style textures on the ceiling. Watching 3D movies with Vision Pro is proof that 3D movies can be incredibly immersive and downright cool if done right. 3D TVs may have been a short-lived fad, but Vision Pro nails the experience. I also got to watch a clip of an NBA game while wearing Vision Pro, as well as an MLB game. Both of these experiences were incredible. I could look up, down, left, and right and feel as if I was in the stadium, sitting courtside or right alongside the first base line. There was also a clip that was taken inside a music studio with Alicia Keys. I’ve written a lot about how concerts can be a big selling point of Vision Pro, and this demo only further proved that point to me. Apple explained to me that every video I watched was shot in its own custom video format. It hopes that other companies will adopt this format, but as of right now, it had nothing to announce on this front beyond what it showcased with Disney during the keynote. Along the side of the visionOS interface is a menu that expands to show “People, Apps, and Environments.” I chose the Environments option and saw one called “Mount Hood,” which was fully immersive and surrounded me on either side and behind me. This is also one of the times I used the Digital Crown to control my level of immersion. At any point, I could raise my hand it would appear on top of the mixed reality interface. Photos The Photos app is a key part of the Vision Pro experience. You can view your entire Photos library and use gestures to select photos, scroll between photos, zoom in and out, and more. You can view panoramic photos shot on iPhone that wrap all the way around you. I saw two different panoramic iPhone images that were taken in Iceland and on the Oregon coast. Spatial photos and videos are captured via the Vision Pro’s built-in 3D camera. Apple says these are meant to let users “capture, relive, and immerse themselves in favorite memories.” “Every spatial photo and video transports users back to a moment in time, like a celebration with friends or a special family gathering,” Apple explains. During my demo, I saw two spatial videos one taken at a kid’s birthday party and another taken at a campfire. These were both very impressive and did a great job at making it feel as if I was in those memories myself. The demos were admittedly a bit creepy since these weren’t my memories, but it’s easy to see how incredible this feature will be when that changes. FaceTime During my hands-on time with Vision Pro, I took a FaceTime call from someone else in the building who was also wearing Vision Pro. This person was reflected in my Vision Pro view using a Persona, which Apple describes as a digital representation of the person created using machine learning techniques. The Persona was very convincing, but once I started looking more closely, it was clear that it was an artificially generated video. This was especially noticeable around the person’s mouth. While on the FaceTime call, we collaborated on a Freeform document that included a 3D model of an apartment building. I could look inside that model to view specific details about the design, the corners, the furniture, and more. The 3D model took a while to load and was a bit buggy, which led to my overall mixed experience with FaceTime. Comfort and motion sickness Finally, and perhaps most important, there’s the comfort aspect of Vision Pro. As I said at the beginning, the process of getting fitted and putting the headset on is straightforward and easy. But what about actually wearing it? I wore Vision Pro for about 30 minutes, and my experience was overall positive. The fabric is soft and breathable, there’s a lot of padding around the eyes, and it felt snug but not too snug on my head. That being said, it’s definitely on the heavier side of things. I could absolutely see getting tired of wearing it after extended sessions. The overall design and fit reminded me quite a bit of AirPods Max and many of the materials were similar. It’s clear why Apple opted for an external battery pack as well. If the battery pack was integrated into the headset itself, it would be way too heavy and virtually impossible to wear for more than a few minutes at a time. One thing Apple said today is that it only had a small selection of the Light Seal sizes available during these demos. When Vision Pro launches, however, there will be a vast set of Light Seal sizes available. This will help further perfect the comfort for all users. Going into today, I was really concerned about motion sickness while wearing an Apple headset. I get motion sick incredibly quickly in a car or an airplane. But in my 30 minutes wearing Vision Pro, I didn’t experience any motion sickness whatsoever. Apple says that the combination of two 4K displays and incredibly low latency are big factors in preventing people from getting motion sick while wearing Vision Pro. The ability to move in and out of virtual reality and augmented reality also plays a major role in reducing motion sickness and fatigue. Other tidbits One of the most impressive parts of my time with VIsion Pro was the sound quality. The headset features two individually amplified drivers inside each audio pod. Paired with the immersive content, Spatial Audio was stunning. Far better than Spatial Audio today using AirPods. I took part in a one-minute mindfulness meditation that featured immersive animations and guided breathing exercises. I definitely needed this after the two-hour keynote! One of the demos saw me interact with a butterfly, which flew toward me and landed on my hand. There was also an Encounter Dinosaurs interactive experience, during which I walked toward the dinosaur and “touched it.” This was cool but a bit gimmicky. It’s a fun proof of concept for what could be possible in the future, though. I can’t speak to battery life since I only wore Vision Pro for 30 minutes. My headset was connected to the external battery pack, and it didn’t get in my way at all. I was able to get up and move around and just drop the battery pack into my pocket. I didn’t get to try any of the Mac-focused features, but I’m eager to learn more about those in the future. I didn’t get a chance to see anyone else wearing Vision Pro, so I didn’t get to see the EyeSight part of the experience. I saw an Apple Immersive Video demo that wrapped me in a 180-degree view as if I was flying above a city, under the ocean, in a field full of wildlife, and more. Wrap-up When I took Vision Pro off after my 30-minute demo, I felt a bit discombobulated. Not necessarily in a bad way, but it was a feeling I’d never experienced before. I had just experienced something that transported me to another world… while also keeping me somewhat connected to the “real world” around me. Throughout my entire experience with Vision Pro, Apple repeatedly emphasized the various ways the headset keeps you connected to the world around you. For instance, I could look to my left and right to see the two other people in the demo room with me. Another tell-tale sign of Apple’s goals is that nowhere in the press release does Apple even mention the word “headset.” The company instead refers to it as a “spatial computer” and refers to visionOS as “the worldâ€™s first spatial operating system.” This is key to the Vision Pro experience, and it’s something that sets Apple apart from other players in this space. The hybrid of virtual and augmented reality strikes a really good balance of immersiveness while keeping you engaged with people around you. In many ways, Vision Pro and visionOS are the culmination of years of AR and VR features that have gradually made their way to the iPhone since ARKit’s introduction in 2017. Apple says that the iPhone is already the largest AR platform in the world, and visionOS takes advantage of many of those features. Do some features of Vision Pro seem gimmicky? Absolutely. But much of what I saw today is proof of just how impressive mixed reality can be when it’s done right, using top-of-the-line hardware and software. As the ecosystem expands, some of the content that may seem gimmicky can be replaced with incredible experiences. The hardware of Vision Pro is absolutely industry-leading. I couldn’t see a single pixel on the 4K displays, and even the edges of the content on either side of me were crisp and clear. The combination of those displays and the powerful M2 and R1 chips inside mean that Vision Pro excels at everything it does. Vision Pro won’t be a runaway success, and I think even Apple knows that. The company likened the $3,500 price to that of the original Mac, which sold for $2,495 in 1984. In 2023 dollars, that would be over $7,000. But even if there aren’t lines wrapping around Apple Stores on launch day, Vision Pro will give Apple a way to get its work in this market out into the wild. Developers can create apps, movie and TV studios can create content, and Apple can learn more about what people want from a product like this. I was a major skeptic of Apple’s plans to enter the VR/AR headset market. Vision Pro is still months away from being ready for prime time, but what I experienced during my hands-on today left me very impressed. I’m excited to see the final product sometime early next year. I’ll have more thoughts on visionOS and Vision Pro later this week when I answer some questions from 9to5Mac readers. Have anything you want to know?
