Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2023 was held yesterday and they announced the first major product since 2014: The Vision Pro. It’s a mixed-reality headset, which will “only” set you back about $3,500.

It is Apple’s first 3D camera and is controlled using eyes, hands, and voice. You’ll be able to use apps, play games, and watch streaming content, all on your personal massive 4K screen.

The Vision Pro will be available next year.

Other announcements at the event included FaceTime adding recorded messages, where you can record a clip of yourself and send it to others when they aren’t available for calls. Also Facetime will soon be available on AppleTV. In addition, Shareplay combined with Facetime allows users to watch TV in sync together.

For the iPHone, when the iPhone is set down or docked, Standby can be activated to turn the phone more useful. When on Standby, the iPhone will display your best images, food delivery progress, and your upcoming tasks and events, among other things.
