What to expect at the WWDC 2023 keynote
Apple Reality Pro
Rumors about anApple VR headsethave been growing steadily this year and it now seems certain that the device will be unveiled later today at Apple Park. The WWDC 2023 invite even appeared to hint at the lenses used in some VR goggles.
xrOS
VR, or mixed reality, would be a new platform for Apple, so we’d expect any hardware launch to be accompanied by the arrival of a newoperating systemto power it. The rumors suggest Apple has settled on the name ‘xrOS’, and it’s expected to be revealed alongside the headset today.
We can also expect to see familiar apps (such as Freeform, FaceTime,Apple TV Plusand more) reinvented for a mixed-reality experience.
15-inch MacBook Air (2023)
The rumor mill has been predicting aMacBook Air 15-inchfor months, and although we were initiallyskeptical that Apple would release a bigger MacBook, we are now expecting Tim Cook to reveal one onstage today.
It may also be joined by a new 13-inch model, with both potentially powered by Apple M3 chips.
Mac Pro (2023)
A new Mac Pro has always been a good fit for a developer-focused conference such as WWDC 2023, and there’s good reason to suspect we might see one arrive today.
If aMac Pro 2023is revealed onstage today, expect it to arrive packing some form of Apple silicon, whether theM2 Pro or M2 Maxchipsets that arrived in January, or the rumored M2 Ultra or even anApple M3 chip.
These are just a few of the potential drops we might see today, but our fullWWDC hubhas more detail about all of the new hardware and software reveals to expect, so head over there before the event starts and get clued up on all things Apple.
