We're yet processing everything we've seen and heard at WWDC23. This was a truly packed event. And now we have to learn new thing – spatial computing.

We're also reflecting on other announcements made at WWDC – new watchOS design language, SwiftData, SwiftUI observables, Swift macros and many other big and small changes across Apple platforms.

The world is going crazy about generative machine learning models. Now it's not just funny profile pictures, but also chat bots. Or answering machines. Or even junior developers.

And, yes, we're about our expectations for WWDC23.
