These were peaceful. The Vision Pro announcement earlier this year was basically a black mirror episode.

The dad that was watching videos (or something like that) in his Vision Pro instead of spending time at his kids birthday.
That and the lonesome father looking at photos of his (dead?) family in a dark apartment really left a bad impression from me on the headset that I can't shake. I will never "unsee" that. Sure, use it for work...but at home, no way. Baffled that Apple thought would jive well considering how much attention they put into those presos and makes me wonder how much of the headset marketing team is single & childless.
That's accurate dad behavior. Having cellphone cameras was a temporary decrease compared to holding a camcorder or viewfinder camera.
The "mother nature" sketch was... interesting. And throughout the presentation I thought well it seems this new generation iPhone doesn't bring anything new, it seems like a finished product. So not creating a new one every year would probably be better for the environment than whatever efforts and greenwashing they do engage in.
