These were peaceful. The Vision Pro announcement earlier this year was basically a black mirror episode.
> Honestly for me the best part is the USB-C. Some people predicted that new iPhone will be completely portless and allow wireless charging only, just to not having to support USB-C out of spite. I guess we'll need to wait a year or two more.
IMO, this was a pretty weak announcement. They spent so long talking about environmental stuff, like getting rid of leather, that it felt like they were trying to pad the presentation to reach a reasonable length. There were a few new things (more optical zoom, slightly smaller bezels), but these were all leaked in advance. I was also disappointed to hear that the satellite stuff is limited to 2 years. Is it going to…

I know a lot of people are apprehensive about the Apple Vision Pro, but seeing that I'll be able to take Spatial Videos with the iPhone 15 Pro Max was a huge feature for me. I can't see myself ever taking those videos with the headset itself, but if I can do it from my phone and re-watch the videos later, that's a massive QoL improvement imo. That alone makes the upgrade worth it for me since I'm planning on picking…
