With its arrival into #GenerativeAI, Apple unveiled a lot more than expected at WWDC 2024. My 2 big takeaways were:
1.) This is the turning point where GenAI goes mainstream
2.) The bar has been reset for GenAI security and privacy

I’m at Apple WWDC 2024 and the expectations for a big day in AI are palpable. Follow all the latest updates, analysis, and context for all the announcements at zdnet.com.

#VisionPro is the most interesting product Apple has released in years because it is flawed, imperfect, and takes some big risks. But it also does some fascinating things. If I was grading it right now (before I give it an official score in my full review), I would give an A+ for innovation and a C- in product development. We'll get into all of that in the in-depth review on ZDNET. But for now, buckle up because there's A LOT to talk about with this product in the days, weeks, and months ahead.

Here's my buying advice for Apple Vision Pro: Most people shouldn't buy one unless you're building an app or testing it in your organization or industry. But definitely try one by booking an Apple Store appt or get one and take it back w/in the 14-day return window.

The new MacBook Pro with M3 Max is actually even faster and more responsive than Apple suggested. I ran a real-world AI test in Lightroom against 3 other Macs and you can see the chart in my ZDNET review.

Since I posted my thermal photos of how iOS 17.0.3 resolved the iPhone 15 Pro's overheating issue with fast-charging, I've received multiple reports of people still having other overheating issues and some who started having new overheating issues AFTER updating to iOS 17.0.3. Here's the latest, published on ZDNET.
