With its arrival into #GenerativeAI, @Apple unveiled a lot more than expected at WWDC 2024. My 2 big takeaways were:

#VisioPro is the most interesting product Apple has released in years because it's flawed, imperfect and takes big risks. And it does some fascinating things. If I was grading it right now, I would give it an A+ for innovation and a C- in product development. Full review to come.

Precursor to Apple’s FineWoven? If you remember Samsung’s Alcantara case, it had a suede feel similar to what FineWoven is going for. But I don’t get your hopes up — FineWoven doesn’t feel nearly as nice as Alcantara did. And the Alcantara was an odd choice that got discontinued pretty quickly.

If there was going to be a complete surprise at this year's Apple Event I think it would be... AirPods 4th Gen with the H2 chip and a USB-C case. There haven't been any reports about this, but there are still occasionally Apple updates that fly under the radar.

At Samsung Unpacked this week in Seoul, foldable phones are expected to be the main event. So I brought last year’s Fold 4 to compare to the new products. There are bigger questions about foldables that we’ll cover on ZDNET. It’s going to be a very interesting week!

At WWDC23 , the unveiling of Apple Vision Pro has stunned and surprised the audience. The name was not expected and the fact that its focus is on AR and not VR has the audience in almost stunned silence.

MacOS Sonoma gets screensavers similar to the big sweeping drone video screensavers on Apple TV. Being able to drop iOS widgets like the Tesla widget seamlessly from your iPhone to your Mac is also interesting. #wwdc23
