Yesterday was the biggest day for Apple since the launch of the iPhone

• iOS17
• Vision Pro
• Spatial Computing

Here's a recap of everything that went down at #WWDC23 Image
1. Vision Pro is here

• Cost: $3,499
• 7x as much as Meta Quest 3

Listen to the crowd react to the price lol

2. No controllers necessary

To quote Tim Cook, "it's the first Apple product you look through, not at."

And you do it all through your voice, eyes, and touch

Pretty wild tech
3. It's definitely going to be a work-first product

Most of the first shots Apple showed of the Vision Pro in use were work related

Coolest feature is you can synch with you Macbook just by looking at it

4. EyeSight is huge

The worst part about Meta headsets are they isolate you from the rest of the world

Apple made an exterior screen that shows your eyes so you can still have a connection to the outside world

Kinda creepy but it works
5. Other cool stuff

Beyond the Vision Pro, there were plenty of big iOS 17 updates

Most important: FaceTime Voicemail

freakin finally ImageImage
6. NameDrop

Loved this one

You can share contact info, files, or photos by simply bringing your iPhones or Apple Watch near someone else's Image
7. AI for Autocorrect

Duck yeah

AI helps learn your spelling habits so it can suggest actually useful words and not...ducking Image
8. Journaling App

Apple is dropping a dedicated journaling app instead of making us scrawl our deepest darkest secrets in the notes app

uses photos, workouts, and other interactions to help you build a daily habit ImageImage
9. Standby mode

A new feature that turns your idle iPhone lock screen into a helpful smart display

can show things like weather, photos, calendar, sports scores

could see this coming for the Amazon Echo or Google Nest Hub eventually ImageImageImage
10. And lastly, "Hey Siri" is now just "Siri"

RIP to anyone whose name sounds remotely like Siri ImageImage
And that's a wrap.

Vision Pro feels like it could be a massive flop or define the next 10 years of technological innovation

Either way, we want one

Remember the ship that blocked the Suez Canal in 2021, clogging a vital trade passageway for as much as 12% of the world’s seaborne trade?

Well, we may have a similar situation on our hands in the Panama Canal 👇 🧵 Panama Canal
A drought at Gatun Lake, which feeds the Panama Canal, has caused water levels to drop significantly.

If it persists, it poses a threat to the recent alleviation of global delivery bottlenecks, potentially causing a surge in shipping costs, consumer demand, & goods shortages. Panama Canal
For context, the canal has 46% of the total market share for shipments between NE Asia and the US East Coast.

It connects 160 countries and 1,700 ports worldwide. By using the canal, ships save ~7,875 miles from San Francisco to NY, avoiding the need to circumvent South America. Image

In a massive victory for the #MeToo movement, the Senate passed a landmark bill yesterday that bans companies from using forced arbitration to handle sexual assault and harassment cases.

A thread.
The backstory:

60 million workers in the US are required by their contracts to settle any sexual misconduct case in private arbitration rather than taking it to court.
The arbitration process has no jury, no judge, and typically protects companies and offenders. It’s also seen as a less expensive resolution option for employers.

After 50+ hours of deliberations and seven days, a jury found Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes guilty on four charges of criminal fraud yesterday.

A thread on the trial and the woman behind it all.
Holmes was convicted of three counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

She was found not guilty on four other charges and the jury couldn’t agree on a verdict for three charges.
Basically, the jury concluded that Holmes intentionally lied to investors to raise gobs of money for her company, a blood testing startup that promised to revolutionize health care.

The 2021 stock market was bookended by meme stock mania in January and a brief Omicron scare in November and December. But in between, it was a remarkably smooth ride.

Here's a look back at the year that was for stocks.
If you followed Warren Buffett’s advice and put your money in an S&P 500 index fund, you did very well for yourself last year. The broad index gained 27% in 2021 and closed at a record 70 times—the most since 1995.
Big tech had a great but not amazing year. Microsoft rose 51%, and Apple’s 34% gain has it sitting close to a $3 trillion market capitalization. And by virtue of their immense size, Big Tech stocks were the top six contributors to the S&P’s performance.

Vaccination rates are rising, rent is increasing, and our spending habits are changing once again.

So should your budget.

A thread on how to reassess and adjust your budget for the new year.
Budgeting is about aligning your spending with your values.

When you track where your money is going, it’s easier to assess whether you’re doing your absolute best to make your money work for you...or not.
The best way to do that is to categorize all your expenses as either non-negotiable or negotiable.
