- The big headline is Apple’s Vision Pro headset, but they announced other stuff too! A new 15” MacBook Air, an M2 Mac Studio, an Apple Silicon Mac Pro and a bunch of software! Let’s take a look at the new Macs in addition to iOS 17, watchOS 10, iPadOS 17, and macOS Sonoma! Oh, and that little AirPods update-a diamond in the rough!

My understanding was the contact poster was created for you, by you and then auto shared to the iPhone you're calling. Similar to the photo/name sharing in iMessage but automatically.
it's definitely how it works
@@jack_2612 Yep. You just choose what your contact card looks on others devices when you call them and you have no control over what theirs looks on your phone when they call you.
That’s what I was thinking you do your own
Came here to comment the same thing
same
2:50 I don't think the idea was for you to create the Contact Poster. Each person creates their own poster and whenever their number or email associated with their Apple ID is added as one of your contacts the Poster would be shared too. Similar to how the profile picture can be shared with people you text with in iOS 16. Then the person who is saving the contact can choose the shared Poster or have their own image for the contact.
This was my impression also.
Yeah that’s what I inferred.. not sure what the security implications are tho..
@@alexfoxy maybe the pictures have to pass a filter before it'll let you choose them
@@alexfoxy my contact poster will be a pic of my bootyhole.
I have the beta and I'm 99% sure this is how it works. They're in the same spot, and you change them at the same time.
the contact poster works that you create your contact poster and then it updates on your coneacts iphones so this in theory means that everyone is respresented the way they want to be on everyone elses iphone which solves the lazy contact management entireley as everyone maintains their own contact record.
This is the same thing I picked up on the keynote, and it will be awesome if every one of your contacts are nice people.
But then imagine someone pranking everyone by putting up an NSFW photo as their poster 💀
Correction: You *can* share your own contact poster with your contacts, but they also can create them for you. So if someone tries to troll you, you can edit it.
*entirely
@@alifpr They actually mention on the iOS 17 page that a Sensitive Content filter can be turned on and actually applies to contact posters.
@@INTERPUNCT_ That’s great to know, thanks!
That voicemail transcribe thing has been on Pixel for a while. And its convenient and work. Glad to see it in Apple
I was about to say - who wants to tell him that this has been a standard Pixel feature 🙂
Is it live transcribe while that other person is still speaking or is it after the person completes recording?
@@VenkatPasumarthi2007yes, it's live 😊
Yeap, I think it started on Pixel 4… it’s a great feature to have, loved it then!
@@VenkatPasumarthi2007 it’s live
Regarding gaming: Apple actually showed footage of a DX12 Windows game running as part of the game porting toolkit, and they've built a translation layer similar to Proton to aid developers in getting their games up and running. It's apparently built on top of Wine/Crossover, much like Proton. They really didn't spend much time on this (probably because it's very rough), but it is interesting to see this coming from Apple themselves.
They probably didn’t spend much time on it because they spent more time in the Platform State of the Union, and have several sessions this week on porting a game.
Also definitely better than them trying to create their own for a couple of reasons; 1) More likely faster support for newer games unlike what we've seen take years before a game is even deemed partially supported by CrossOver and the like, and 2) Apple contributing back to Wine (and potentially CrossOver).
Although, I wonder what will happen with Codeweavers/CrossOver since it is only really selling launcher and tooling, the rest is open source and upstreamed to Wine.
@@dealloc with valve and apple both working on crossover forks, id say the devs are pretty happy with their position rn. their blog seemed to indicate that too. we may even see a point where its practically inbuilt into macos and so it can run games or other software even without a port.
@@jonathanodude6660 I don't know about the last part. Apple is not the type of company that integrate things they don't own or create; usually they create additional steps and serve it for developers.
Also considering the amount of customer support they'd have to deal with for something that they don't own to the core would be a huge overhead, even for them, to manage.
Wine is great and I love it for what it brings to Linux and Mac users. But it's not the most stable due to its nature and it hardly will be unless they got unfederated access to all the APIs they need to translate, including drivers etc.
@@dealloc I disagree. I’ve already downloaded it to my mac (just to see if it would work) from the apple dev site. I am not willing to pay for a dev account so I’ll just wait until the public beta to use it, but even if they end up baking it into just Xcode, it’s functionally part of macOS. It will mean that there is compatibility where there used to be none, and it would still be on devs to make native ports. Apple tweaking how it works in software updates would be to be expected since it’s meant to be a dev tool, not a user tool. It wouldn’t be on apple to make every program work, because that’s not the point, but if every program did work, that would be huge.
Also you would still be able to configure it with other versions of wine like you can in cross code and create your own versions if you really needed to. Since it seems like you just create a wrapper the normal way it works then you can just not update the wine version for a wrapper that works already and never have to worry. I can’t see a user complaining to apple that there’s no version of wine (open source software) that runs a game perfectly and apple paying any attention to that user. Remember this is supposed to be a test of how well your game runs on mac. Any other use may be tolerated but not endorsed by apple.
1:05 Google has had the ability for the voicemail feature for years on the Pixel. Need to look at what team green is doing every once in awhile Quinn.
Live transcription?
@@MarcosElMalo2 yep. The call screening feature using Google Assistant works the same way and lets you jump into a call the same way Apple is introducing.
can you answer the call during the live voicemail?
@@BooleanDevliterally the exact same usability, just implemented 4 years ago
@@BooleanDev to clarify, the feature on the pixel acts like a secretary, where you can see the transcript and Tell the phone too respond to the person via pre-generated texts and you can also block and/or end the call.
The feature does not rely on the voicemail function, and any call cancelled will not get access to the voicemail.
14:37 They did redesign the app view for watchOS to a bubble grid that only has vertical scrolling now. They didn't touch on it in the keynote and I don't see it mentioned on the watchOS 10 webpage but it was the first thing I noticed when they showed the app view in the keynote and is confirmed by user posts on Reddit. Still somewhat the same sure, but it's much more linear and manageable to navigate when the app view is limited to one axis of movement instead of three.
This is really great if true! Loading the betas up today and excited to see this work.

Thanks! This really should be on the video itself.
You’ve got too much free time 😂
You are a life and time saver!
When we see the price of the Mac Pro, and with no iMac Pro in sight, there’s no way Apple could have dropped the Studio product lineup… as d why would they in the first place. It’s the only pro Mac Apple makes that isn’t cramped into a laptop (thermal constraints, TB4 screen limitations) that non-rich kids can afford.
It's fascinating. I watched the whole keynote live, and watched multiple videos about wwdc before watching this one, and you still managed to have multiple interesting unique perspectives and give new information I didn't know about. Stay snazzy
Hell yeah! I usually save the Snazzy take on things for after the more surface level reporting. This way i can enjoy the hype and then get a proper deep dive with more info and more unforgiving analysis!
Home did get an update by the way! It's on the iOS 17 preview page, home now shows you history for locks, contact sensors, garage doors, and security systems. Small, but definitely nice.
I use HomeSpan and an esp32 board to integrate my legacy security system into HomeKit. I created fake lights for each contact sensor, so that I could see a change of state if I missed an event. This would be much better.
I used the Home App for automations for about a month until one random day they all stopped working, went back to Alexa and they work without fail…won’t make that mistake again…pretty much love all my Apple hardware, but their smart home implementation is just awful and unfortunately I will never open the Home app except to update my HomePod Mini
The voicemail interruption feature is the smartphone equivalent of being able to hear in real time - and interrupt, if you choose - a voice message being left on a physical answering machine. I remember calling someone via landline and having them pick up the phone while I was leaving a message.
Was patiently waiting for this recap video, always one of the best
For me the iOS part was just a combination of "that wasn't a thing before?" and "I want that on Android". The drag to reply one surprised me, as it's common in many messaging apps
I think the special contact cards are only for yourself, and it sends that card when you call another iPhone user
I'd love to see the Airdrop internet feature upgraded to full blown peer to peer file share from anywhere.
Call it Slingshot
Appreciate your wrap up Quinn! Can't believe you didn't get invited to WWDC to try out the Vision Pro.
My man straight up doxxed the Tech Tips man himself lol
Watching this video was my treat for myself after a long day, thanks Quinn
This is a great video, you covered a lot more detail than most other tech reviewers and this is fantastic since I didn’t watch the whole keynote
Hope you have the receipt.
The “tap to exchange contact info” feature is much needed.
Apple intentionally holds off features for future software updates.
Quinn, from time to time I always realise how you are just simply on another level. Congrats on the video!
Love the recap! Just like every year, I'm excited for the new updates. Can't wait for September!
Nice to see Notes app improvements. I switched to OneNote about a year and a half ago from Notability when it switched to a subscription model (even though my App Store purchase was grandfathered in). I am seriously starting to hate OneNote on iPad, it's just riddled with bugs and PDF scans suck. Maybe I'll switch to Notes come September? Maybe just back to Notability.
the cool thing about the contact cards is that everyone creates their own, and it's transmitted in the caller data... at least that's how i interpreted it..... kind of like an updated version of the profile picture attached to your icloud account.
Is the journal app only going to iPhone or will it be available on Mac and iPad?
The live voicemail feature for iOS 17 is definitely similar to (but not the same as) the Pixel's call screening feature that we've had for years, except it doesn't save the screening to voicemail. That's the cool part!
Android has had something similar to Live Voicemail for a few years now, but it's a Pixel exclusive. You have to choose to send the caller to your assistant and it goes to a different location from your voicemail, but it is interactive and you can pick up in the middle of the caller's response. I'm guessing iOS Live Voicemail does something similar but dumps it to your voicemail afterward.
Visual voicemail is in no way a pixel exclusive and has existed for probably close to a decade or something like that. It's been around forever.
@@kerrydaniels8460 I know, I had visual voicemail on an HTC Eco a decade ago. I'm talking about the Call Screening feature of the Google assistant, which I believe is still a Pixel exclusive. It lets you see the caller's responses and interact through the assistant.
@ralph90009 Then that is not what this video is about then. Apple isn't doing all that. They're just getting the decade+ years old visual voicemail and thinking it is some innovative feature.
@@kerrydaniels8460You definitely did not read or understand at all what @ralph900009 was saying at all . He is not talking about Visual voicemail that has been on androids forever now and its currently on IPhone . He is talking about a interactive voice mail in real time that is transcribed on your screen during the call and you have the ability to pickup and interrupt the voicemail and talk directly to the person making the voicemail instead of waiting for it to go to visual voicemail read what was left and then call them back .
Next time read more slowly so you can understand the comment
00:07 - "I was 17 once... so, let's begin with iOS" 😂
(Great intro! Been a viewer of your channel since 2015 and your uploads are informative, but not only that, your humor and jokes are funny af!😅)
This was an awesome presentation! Enjoyed the whole of it and did not even think of moving to another video
Always look forward to your after WWDC posts! Great job!
What ever happened to Jade 4C-Die. The new :Mac Pro really needed to have the M2 quad Max chip with 384GB of RAM, 152 GPU cores and 48 CPU cores to justify it’s continuing existence. Hopefully it clocks higher than the Studio, given the better cooling.
Agreed 100%
the new Mac Pro is an empty box for 7k
Quinn, I always look forward to your post-Apple event coverage the most. Most nuanced and detailed analysis of their new launches.
True, with great humor as well!
Pretty much most of the new iPhone features I was like eh with not really getting the use at least for me until they got to check in. Which is just absolutely fantastic and already useful.
There is an app through my university to this automatically but if one does not check in it calls campus security which I can see going wrong easily if I just forget to say I arrived one day, so I always have to do this manually through text. So a way to simplify the process is great. Especially if I can use the feature in a busy group chat so no matter what someone will be near their phone if I don’t get to where I need to be in time and can reach out to me faster.
10:00 - I didn't realize the iPad bounced your hand off of it anytime you selected something. Best unannounced feature.
Ok Mr Quinn, you may sleep now. :P
I watched the entire keynote, but I don't care. I like watching everyone's recap videos
They were showing Direct x 12 running during the gaming demo, So i'm guessing they made a translation layer on top of their metal api, so i'm sure game developers will have a much easier time porting their games to mac and mac gaming might finally take off this time
It was inside Rosetta.
They also rolled out a translator to take the PC games and make a native Metal executable.
Oh, and the emulator is public domain.
Best Apple coverage in the game. Loved this, Quinn!
Did you ever touch on what you didn’t like about the home app? I quite like it. Also, they actually did also update it some, it was some minor tweaks but some nice changes nonetheless like with the thermostat
AirPods firmware update is very needed. The pro 2s have so many connection bugs
Mmmm, have never really had any connection issues with my Pro2 set since I got them.
@@dandanthesoundman7607 welp that solves it then. If it’s never happened to Dan the Sound man then can’t be a real thing for anyone else.
"No need to wander around the room, bumping your phone with others" - Craig Federighi, 2013, mocking Android Beam at the iOS 7 Conference.
How we've come full circle
Your Apple keynote summary videos are always the best.
Will the high resolution screen sharing require 2 Macs on Sonoma with Apple Silicon, or just the one you're streaming to? I have a headless Mac Pro 2013 with an M1 Max MacBook that could take huge advantage of it.
It’s nice that Apple added simple call screening, since has been an Android feature for years. Maybe next year they can make it more like Android the phone talks to the person, or calls businesses for you, or stays on hold for you and speaks to the people.
Pixel feature. I wish it was an Android feature. Samsung has Dex and then Google keeps call screening for Pixels. One of the reasons I carry two phones. Why Pixels don't have a "desktop" mode is beyond me though. Apple not supporting stage manager on displays with a USB-C iPhone is the real bottleneck of progress though.
yes and Google Voice (previously Call Central when it was a separate company) had it for years before it even came to Pixel would be great to see these other features "invented" too
How can I get these features for my Samsung Galaxy?
@@itsROMPERS... It was a Pixel exclusive. I wonder if Google has patents on it and Apple went ahead and licensed them. Now that Apple has it, Samsung will get it sooner than later.
@@itsROMPERS... Natively, you'll need a Google Pixel but with free Google Voice it's built right into the service
lol but who really uses messages?
Outside of the US anyways nobody does SMS anymore. it's all whatsapp
Been using the beta firmware on my AirPods Pro 2 today, and so far am very impressed by the adaptive noise mode!
How do you trigger an update?
I'm on all the beta software right now. The watch widgets are nice for exactly the reason you said. I can now use a cleaner watch face with only the time 'cause all of the other info is just a quick scroll away. And I'm loving this Snoopy one
I’m Dumb and Spent $7,000 on the New Mac Pro - It's not being dumb it's having bread in the bank, enjoy bro
I’m the most liked comment.
EDIT - failed successfully
I can’t believed I watched this whole video to hear your Vision Pro thoughts that never came!
Best apple event recaps on UA-cam
One thing I found out after the Keynote while looking is that they are only supporting iMac from 2019. So that's only four years back. Use to they would support most common hardware for about 8 or 9 years.
I was so hyped when Craig said „finally we bring this highly requested app to the iPad“….me: calculator! Yes! So disappointed when he said health 😅
Damn, snazzy's vids never miss
You can tell when something is a mature product/platform when the updates are quality of life iterative updates and not flashy gimmicks. Many of the best features from the last few OS updates, have been huge quality of life improvements; Live Text, Focus Modes etc.
Apps being out of the way in iMessage is great. I constantly hit those app icons when typing by mistake.
I used to use an app called Fluid for the PWA functionality so this is gonna be a nice replacement instead of having to use a second browser for sites that didn’t do their own wrapper for their offering
quinn, where can i get that tee?
Great synopsis!
What's so bad about the Settings app? It's more uniform with the other platforms.
At least you can expand storage using U.2 and U.3 with large and professional SSDs in the PCIe slots with the very affordable U.2/3 to PCIe Adapter cards.
The adaptive noise for AirPods tech will be used in the vehicle for sure. They will have noice cancellation to keep the sound in the cabin quiet besides outdoor necessary sounds like sirens, honking, or pedestrians if needed
I agree with you, with the impressive increments in these last OS iteration. 💯
Though not exactly the same the new voicemail live transcrption/interruption feature reminds me of Google's Screen Call feature which I use a lot.
I need that teardown. I need to know if it is theoretically possible, assuming exact same chip size, to plonk in an M3 Ultra later
Where is iMessage scheduled sending?! I was doing this on my galaxy note 2 in 2012 😭
AirPods Pro 2 adaptive audio and call Screening (live voicemail) are what I’m most excited for with the updates.
Sprint had a service which let you hear voicemails as they were being recorded and answer the call mid way through. No transcription, but it was still pretty handy.
It seems to me that the primary reason for a Mac Pro is if you need more bandwidth than Thunderbolt can provide. The main scenario that comes to mind is high performance networking (I.e. 100+ Gbps) to an all flash SAN or maybe needing more local NVMe flash (though Thunderbolt may be sufficient for that.)
I use almost every program on full screen, so I never see the desktop, unless I purposely go there. so I am not sure about the widgets
I feel annoyed. 😑I just purchased the maxed out Mac studio M1 just a few weeks ago just for them to announce the M2 version. I've been on a trip so haven't opened it yet, but not sure if I even should. Should I return it and get the M2 version?
PS. With watchos10 most if not all things activated by the crown (widgets, looking at activity rings) can also be activated by swiping.
I hope the AirPods dynamic ANC/Ambient works as expected. I've used some Huawei earphones that had that feature and it was a weird/disorienting experience. Sounded good on paper, but the execution was far from a good one.
I do think the SOC will be user upgradable as their push has been that way anyway. I imagine you will be able to purchase M3 Ultra chips to replace through the program they started in about two years.
Yeah, that thought occurred to me, but I bet it will be pricey as hell. It will still be worth it for some users.
The main customers for this equipment are at the very high end. They might be leasing the equipment anyway. 99.99% of us don’t need slots or extra i/o capability of a beefed up afterburner (which is now “free”). But for that 0.01%, this Mac Pro is going to be big ass titties.
Of course it's possible: it's being done by the APP and is intercepting the voice, piping the content to the carrier voicemail box, and the transcript over the internet to the other phone's app.
Will the new web apps feature allow downloads from streaming sites? UA-cam has a web app that allows downloads and it would be cool if we could do that with Max or Disney+ as well.
Wait wasnt the mac pro suppost to be upgradable? Not this new one, but the previous one? Where is my apple silicon chipset upgrade?
Something absent from macOS (for the past decade at least) is proper multi monitor support. It is still janky with three monitors.
Im excited for your upcoming videos
I have no issues with the Home app or HomeKit, or getting Siri to turn lights on and off. Maybe it's just because I have a pretty simple setup…just a few lights, a motion sensor, an AppleTV and a HomePod Mini. The responsiveness and reliability got even better after the HomeKit upgrade offered in iOS 16.4.
It wasn't highlighted in the keynote, but the Apple Watch home screen actually did get a subtle redesign. From what I've seen, it now functions as a scrolling list (still on the hexagonal grid) instead of expanding in all directions
It was shown off in the keynote. Just not mentioned.
Accepting a call during a voicemail has been possible for a while with landline phones.
So no graphics expansion at all? What would happen if you did anyway? NO power adapter???
For something like living in a server rack or on a bench somewhere, the PCIE nics are way more practical. What else is the empty space in the case going to be used for!
Journaling app sounds great. I’d really like to have a stylus for journaling on my phone though. Typing just doesn’t right for this particular use case.
Thank you Snazzy Labs for purchasing a $7000, new Mac Pro. I will definitely watch your unboxing and review videos about that computer.
It’s a lot to spend for some pci slots compared to the studio with ultra chip. Will there be compatibility issues where none have been tried with apple silicon before
I don’t think there should’ve been a Mac Pro unless they did 2 x m2 ultra chips for 48 core cpu/152 core GPU. It has all the room for cooling and power supply
I think only a very small percentage (less than 1%) really have a need for expansion slots. This will be great for them. There’s also the built-in and beefed up Afterburner, that was previously a $2000 upgrade option. It’s not clear to me if this is a M2 Ultra feature or if it’s exclusive to the Mac Pro.
Quinn has a good point about many hardware cards moving to external devices, but it wasn’t just because of lack of slots. Back in the day, an i/o card for analog-to-digital conversion often required a breakout box or cable, so manufacturers just moved the “card” into the box. It also makes it convenient (or more functional) because parts of the interface (gain knobs, for example) are physical and out in front. I think the industry was already moving towards this as laptops were being used as the basis for portable studios. It just made more sense.
I find it funny that these i/o boxes are still sometimes called “sound cards”.
live voicemail and to answer it was possible I think.. didn’t google do it with the assistant?? can a pixel user confirm? where it acts as receptionist? also the video thing on FaceTime was also done on now googles discontinued “Duo” app
I bet they're working on gettin stage manager so good that they will just port the macos calculator fo ipad os just as is lol
I have to say the title sums up this video perfectly! I’d only use the Mac Pro for data management. And it makes a horrible server anyway. I speak of this because I own an M1 Mac mini. I only use it for restoring my laptop if necessary.
I have been thinking about voicemail recently and how old school voicemail let you hear it as it was being recorded.
the new (current) print dialog is hell on earth too
Chrome had this App feature. It's a bit hidden when the website doesn't natively support it, but it works great.
You can switch a tab to the app and the app to the app without reload.
I hope Safari's implementation at least as good as Chromes.
Live Voicemail is actually done on-device, not through the carrier. I’m in Canada and most carriers here paywall Visual Voicemail, so most people here don’t have it. With Live Voicemail, the voicemails get saved under the recents section in the phone app. So essentially, this gives Visual Voicemail to those who don’t have it!
When they brought up PDFs I was hoping they would mention something about the stability of performing document markup through the Files app. Last semester (math/stats/OR grad school student) I took all my notes for one class using GoodNotes5 (amazing). For the other class, since the prof passed out printed copies of the notes, I scanned the notes using Microsoft Lens, saved them as PDF files, and then stored all my notes for that class digitally in the Files app on my iPad Pro M2. On many occasions the Files app would just crash mid-lecture and I’d lose some amount of the markup notes I had written. Got more paranoid about it as the semester went on and had to habitually save periodically throughout each lecture. Just wasn’t as pleasant of an experience as I would have expected, but this semester was also my first time getting familiar with the Files app and maybe this has been par for the course for a while.
Only reason I didn’t use GoodNotes for this situation was because the need to scan physical notes and then be able to perform digital markups as quickly as possible wasn’t really doable compared to just going straight through the Files app where my scan would be one folder away from being editable.
On the bright side, it seems maybe in the future I could use the Notes app for this type of scenario instead. GoodNotes can’t be beaten when it comes to features though.
Your presentation and cadence is always above the rest(I mean most, but you get it).
Widgets outside the damn Notification Center on Mac soooo nice
Yes! Hopefully the keyboard update works. It’s been terrible for a long time!
Thanks for your coverage, saved me watching the annoying keynote
Excited about that autocorrect, primarily because when I use swipe on my phone, no matter how many times I redo it, it will put in the almost-never-used-proper-noun "Andy" instead of the used-a-million-times-everyday-common-word "and" which chips a little piece of my soul away every time.
