Taylor Swift & the Apple Vision Pro are the biggest tech stories of 2024 (so far) | BetaKit

In our endless pursuit of conceits through which to discuss Canadian tech and tech from a Canadian perspective, this week we have a new game we hope will both entertain and squeeze your mind grapes. Our last podcast game was an escalating match of identifying the biggest tech question for 2024. This week, we try to nail the biggest news stories of the year, with an opportunity to rebut!

“I’m just holding out hope for Nightshade (Taylor’s Version). Arm the Swifties, they’re our only hope.”

Biggest doesn’t mean most obvious, either. Part of the fun is arguing for the importance of stories that might otherwise be overlooked. So while pointing to the Apple Vision Pro is about as chalk as it gets, perhaps our take as to why isn’t. Surrounding Apple’s new laptop for your face are conversations about the Arc browser and Nightshade, new (potential) banks like Koho, and yes, Taylor Swift.

How exactly is Taylor Swift one of the biggest tech stories of 2024? Allow us to dig in. By the end of this episode, you’ll either be fearless or seeing red.
