Apple WWDC23 Event Media Invites Out: Here’s Everything iPhone Maker Is Expected To Launch

Apple has started sending out invites for its WWDC 2023. This year's event is expected to be packed with multiple product launches and announcements.

This year's Apple WWDC 2023, called WWDC23, will be held at Apple Park headquarters in Cupertino, California. The keynote is scheduled to commence on June 5th at 10 AM PDT (10:30 PM IST). Apple will also offer a live stream of the event on its social media accounts. Here's everything we expect Apple to announce at the WWDC23 event.

Apple Reality Pro Mixed Reality Headset Powered But xrOS

Apple should launch its long-awaited Virtual and Augmented reality headset at this year's developer conference. The Mixed Reality headset is expected to be christened 'Reality Pro'.

Apple AR/VR Reality Pro headset would be powered by Apple's xrOS operating system that's designed and optimized for gaming and productivity. The Reality Pro could be powered by a SoC along the lines of Apple's M2 chipset. It may pack as many as a dozen cameras to detect body movements and even read facial expressions.

Some rumors claim Apple may price the Reality Pro headset at around $3,000 (approx. ₹2.48 lakh). The headset is expected to come with a control knob to switch between Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality.

Apple To Release iOS 17 For iPhone Devices At WWDC23

Apple is expected to announce iOS 17 at WWDC 2023. The operating system is expected to bring with it several optimizations, and a few new features.

Apple is expected to introduce a new journalling app, add a Mood Tracker to the health app, a revamped Control Center, increase functionality for Dynamic Island, and new features for Apple Music via the iOS 17 update.

One of the biggest changes to the iOS ecosystem could be the ability to sideload apps on iPhones and iPads. However, this facility might not make it outside the EU.

iPadOS17, macOS17, watchOS 10, And More

Apart from xrOS and iOS, Apple is expected to announce iPadOS 17, macOS17, tvOS, and watchOS 10. Apple hasn't offered any details about the features of these OS updates.

Some reports suggest Apple has focused mainly on bug fixes and stability improvements. However, a Bloomberg report claims that watchOS 10 could come with a new widget system that would allow users to check notifications without opening the app. Additionally, after the update, some Apple devices could be used as smart displays too.

New MacBook Air Laptops With Last Year's M2 Chipset?

Apple could announce a Macbook Air laptop with a 15-inch screen. Although Apple may offer the largest-ever MacBook Air, it could pack the same M2 chipset and the same display technology that was used in the 14-inch MacBook Pro.

Besides the new MacBook Air, Apple could also launch a 13-inch MacBook Pro and MacBook Air as well as a 24-inch iMac desktop computer.

As the name indicates, the Worldwide Developers Conference is mainly for developers, which means Apple usually offers software and digital tools at the event. However, this year, Apple is mixing the developer-focused WWDC with some new hardware launches.

It appears Apple has adopted Google's strategy for this year's event. The search giant recently held its Google I/O 2023 event, at which, it launched its first foldable smartphone, dubbed the Pixel Fold.
