With its arrival into #GenerativeAI, @Apple unveiled a lot more than expected at #WWDC2024. 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 #WWDC2024 updates, analysis, and context for all the announcements at today.

#VisionPro 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 were grading it right now, I would give an A+ for innovation and a C- in product development. Full review to come.

Here's my buying advice for @Apple #VisionPro: Most people shouldn't buy one unless you're building an app for it or testing it in your organization or industry. (cc: tip @Techmeme)

Are you considering a pre-order for Apple Vision Pro on Friday? If so, I'd like to hear from you to learn 1.) Why you're thinking about it, and 2.) What are the experiences you're most excited about? Email me at jason dot hiner at zdnet dot com.

My @ZDNET commentary on 2023 in #tech: It was a comeback year a decade in the making.

Here's the black iPhone 15 Plus sitting on top of the Space Black 14-inch MacBook Pro (M3 Max). While the Space Black looks great, it's definitely more of a dark gray than a black.

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.
