Apple's latest conference was held at Apple Park, introducing the 15-inch MacBook Air and new iOS versions for various Apple products, alongside the unveiling of its latest product named "Apple Vision Pro." The conference began with the introduction of the new generation of its popular MacBook Air, now featuring a larger 15-inch display, available in both 15 and 13-inch sizes with a thickness of 11.5mm in four colors. The new MacBook Air can hold a charge for up to 18 hours and supports Apple's latest audio system. Two other Mac products introduced at the conference on June 5 were Mac Studio and Mac Pro. High processing power and speed, utilizing the new M2 Ultra chip, are key updates for these products. The Mac Pro can process videos using various graphics cards and supports up to eight high-quality displays, enabling 8K video playback across twenty-two players. Alongside the new Macs, Apple also unveiled its latest operating systems; iOS 17 offers new features for iPhones, including a special design for displaying the caller, a new simultaneous voicemail feature allowing users to text the caller, and the ability to leave video messages if a FaceTime video call is missed. Additional features include the ability to modify and create stickers, convert voice messages to text, and easily search through messages. Apple also introduced two new features for iPhone users: NameDrop, which allows users to share contact information by bringing their devices close together, and a journaling feature enabling users to document their daily events. The iPad updates provide special features for users, from lock screen design to new video conferencing capabilities and quick editing options for PDF files, addressing previous weaknesses of the iPad. Apple introduced "Sonoma" as the new version of its Mac operating system, a robust OS designed for daily tasks, now with special features for gaming. The most significant update includes impressive capabilities for business conferencing and screen sharing, previously unseen in competing products. Apple also plans to enhance its AirPods with new features like user voice recognition for automatic music pausing and clearer surrounding sound. The Apple Watches will also benefit from these updates, focusing more on users' health, with iOS 10 providing special features for daily exercise. At the end of the conference, Apple introduced a new product for tech enthusiasts, the Apple Vision Pro, essentially Apple's long-awaited glasses. Competing in the parallel world with Meta, Apple is making a strong entry into this new tech realm. Apple Vision Pro offers amazing features, from watching 4K movies to being in a workspace that provides special capabilities, allowing users to see their surroundings while having multiple screens in front of them, type, and control everything with their hands. Both the powerful M2 and R1 chips are used in this product, enabling users to access nearly every capability that previously required a bulky computer or audio-visual system. High quality and special audio-visual features, along with a processor designed separately from the Apple Vision for user health, are unique characteristics of this product. Apple Vision can even recognize your handwriting, allowing designers to view their products in 3D before production and share them with clients. Apple refers to this product as a new revolution in technology and human life, but this revolution is not cheap, as the product is priced at $3,500, significantly higher than similar models. The Apple Vision Pro is set to hit the market in early next year, while the new Macs will be available from early this summer and the new operating systems from this fall.
