Macworld Apple’s Vision Pro website is filled with incredible photos and fancy phrases to describe how revolutionary the headset is, but you won’t find Apple’s usual tech specs page. That’s likely because the device isn’t shipping for another 10 months or so, and things are probably going to change. So there are a lot of small specifics we don’t know. For example, Apple describes the display as a “custom micro‑OLED display system [that] features 23 million pixels, delivering stunning resolution and colors,” but doesn’t mention ProMotion—Apple’s high-refresh technology that automatically adjusts the refresh rate up to 120Hz for ultra-smooth scrolling and responsiveness. On a $3,499 Pro device, we naturally assumed ProMotion would be included, but that’s actually not the case. According to…

Macworld I get it. You’re excited and/or angry about the $3,500 headset Apple might sell you next year if you’re in the right country. It’s worth getting excited about. But in terms of real-world, right-now impact, the surprise winner of the WWDC 2023 keynote is… wait for it… the Mac! I would never have imagined it beforehand, but it’s true: Apple’s Mac announcements on Monday were huge news, despite being overshadowed by shiny future products and platforms that won’t let anyone do anything until 2024. MacBook Air +2 While I’m acting all contrarian-like, let me double down. The most important Mac announcement on Monday wasn’t the upgraded Mac Studio or the Mac Pro, the final piece of the Apple silicon…

The latest AirPods tout great sound quality, not to mention some of the best voice call quality you can get in a pair of earbuds. | Image: Chris Welch / The Verge As expected, Apple’s WWDC keynote came and went without Tim Cook & Co. announcing a new set of AirPods (though, we did get a few new Macs). This means we’re not likely to see a new pair of wireless earbuds from Apple this year until at least the fall, if at all, making now as good a time as any to pick up Apple’s third-gen AirPods — which are on sale right now at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy for around $149 ($20 off). Despite being situated in…

In an increasingly interconnected and digitized world, the choice of technological devices and ecosystems plays a pivotal role in shaping the way we navigate our daily lives. Among the myriad options available, Apple stands as a prominent and influential player in the tech industry, renowned for its distinctive blend of innovation, design elegance, and a user-centric approach. The allure of Apple products extends far beyond mere functionality; it encompasses a carefully curated and harmonious experience that has captivated millions of users worldwide. (more…)

Apple’s Siri voice assistant will soon be capable of responding to multiple requests at once. | Photo by Chris Welch / The Verge Despite some hints toward a possible Apple smart display with its new StandBy feature for iPhones, Apple’s WWDC was underwhelming for the smart home. But Apple did announce one noteworthy addition, Siri will soon handle “multiple commands” in succession without you having to say its name again. This might seem like a small update, but for anyone who uses voice control in the smart home, saying, “Siri, turn off the dining room lights and lock the front door” will be a huge improvement. However, it’s also another example of how Apple is still playing catch-up in the…

Macworld Did you see the Keynote?! Tim Cook said the thing! The “one more thing” thing! Congratulations, Apple Keynote bingo players around the world. Now, we could talk about Vision Pro for hours but let’s not. We have the whole rest of the year to do that. And is anyone taking bets that Apple’s definition of “early next year” means the first half of the year? Suffice it to say that the Macalope thought Vision Pro was intriguing, technologically impressive, very weird, somewhat off-putting, and, of course, expensive. (If this is Vision Pro, wake him when Vision Amateur comes out.) Instead, let’s talk about what Apple didn’t talk about. Apple talked about iPhones, Macs, iPads, Apple TVs, HomePods, the Apple…
