So, I tried Vision Pro, and no matter how good you think it is… it's better. Just astonishing immersion backed by mind-boggling audio fidelity, and the UI has been polished and polished until it's almost invisible. Zero friction; I was a confident user in minutes. #WWDC23

There were so many individual experiences that would make you say, "that alone is revolutionary." But when you see 50 of them back to back, culminating in an immersive experience that somehow blows the top of everything you already saw, it's just jaw-dropping.

And you know the odd thing is that we know a lot of the APIs: we know ARKit, we know RealityKit, we know SwiftUI, and more. But bringing all those together, mixing in new features, new interactions, and just incredible hardware… yeah, it's a real "only Apple can do this" moment.

Some things:
- I didn't get even a bit dizzy
- I have a strong prescription in my glasses, but the headset lenses were 💯
- Audio is surreal. No headphones; absolutely perfect positioning and range
- You go from making big hand-waving gestures to tiny swipes and pinches real fast

One more thing before I run to a meeting: at the keynote you saw a bunch of Vision Pro stuff, but what you saw is nothing compared to a live demo. Some breakthrough things weren't in the keynote because they just don't work in 2D, but through visionOS…… the hype is real, folks.
