True, the activity at Apple Park will last until Friday the 9th, but, as usual, keynote address the opening of the event will attract everyone’s attention. And this time it’s going to be really special because there are going to be some highlights in terms of releases, both in terms of software and hardware.

The most important thing to expect from WWDC 2023 is without a doubt Apple mixed reality glasses presentation. A product that has been the subject of endless rumors and controversy for years, but it finally seems to be ready to hit the market. Added to this is the anticipation of the launch of new Macs – both portable and desktop – and updates to the operating system ecosystem, with a particularly interesting focus on iOS 17 and watchOS 10.

What is still unknown is how will it be keynote address inaugural. In 2022, although the event had an in-person component, the announcements were made through a previously recorded presentation – the same one seen streaming– and this was projected to those present on a large screen located in the courtyard of Apple Park. It remains to be seen whether WWDC 2023 will follow the same trend or whether the company will bet on a return to the traditional format with staged launches, as it was before the pandemic.

What we expect from WWDC 2023

We have already made it clear that the first event of WWDC 2023 will be full of announcements. Of course, we hope that, like every year, Apple will analyze how its products and services have a big impact on the world. And, as we indicated at the beginning, many new features are expected in terms of operating systems and computers. Although everyone is hoping that those on the block will finally introduce their mixed reality glasses to the public.

Apple glasses or Reality Pro?

The intrigue around Apple’s mixed reality headset starts with the name itself. When they were still a product in the near future, they were informally identified as apple glasses. However, since last year the denomination Reality Prowhich, while not official – at least for now – looks more like a name that people in Cupertino would actually use.

If its WWDC 2023 announcement goes through, Apple will launch a new category of hardware for the first time since it introduced the Apple Watch in 2014. There have been so many rumors about this product in recent years that at times it was difficult to draw the line between reality and pure speculation. It is even said that its availability may be limited. Not only because the first generation will be released in limited numbers, but also because it will cost around $1,000 or more. 3000 dollars.

Some possible characteristics of mixed reality glasses

• Virtual reality and augmented reality capabilities, the ability to switch between modes using a knob similar to the digital crown on the Apple Watch.
• More than a dozen cameras and sensors are designed not only to capture what is happening around the user, but also to control gestures and detect the body. A very strong rumor indicates the inclusion of an iris scanner as a user identification and authentication method.
• Lightweight and comfortable design. Apple would prefer to remove the battery from headset and use an outer one that could be carried in a trouser pocket or hung around the waist.
• Dropping the hood, Apple’s mixed reality headset will include two M2 chips. Thus, the device will have processing power similar to that of a Mac.
• The screens will be micro-OLED and will have a diagonal of 1.41 inches each, a density of 4000 pixels per inch and a maximum brightness of 5000 nits. All this will result in 4K resolution for each eye.
• The operating system of the device will be called xrOS and will have an iOS-like interface. Several Apple services and apps like Safari, FaceTime or Apple TV+ will be available by default. While the apps will be adapted for the iPad to be offered as eyeglass-optimised versions.

15-inch MacBook Air and other Macs

Just because Apple’s mixed reality glasses are the centerpiece of WWDC 2023 doesn’t mean there isn’t room for more. Another point of great attraction will be introduction of new Mac computersand here also there were many rumors in the weeks and months leading up to this event.

For now, everything points to WWDC 2023 bringing us the highly anticipated 15-inch MacBook Air. This model will use the same chassis design as last year’s 13-inch M2, which could also get an upgrade. There are even rumors of a new 13-inch MacBook Pro. The latter came as a surprise as the only available model is still offered with Touchpad and it’s one of the least popular laptops in Apple’s catalog.

He Mac Pro is another of the long awaited announcements for keynote address the inaugural WWDC 2023. This team has been waiting for years for the corresponding Apple Silicon update and may arrive on the scene making the most of the M2 Ultra chip. At the time, there was talk of a version with the M2 Extreme, but apparently Apple canceled it.

However, more desktops may suddenly appear at the opening event next Monday. In the past few hours, it has been revealed that Apple is preparing two new devices with powerful configurations based on the M2 Max and M2 Ultra, that they won’t be portable or the aforementioned Mac Pro. Will there be updated versions of Mac Studio at WWDC 2023? We can’t rule it out, though it would be contrary to Apple’s supposed plans to discontinue it despite its short existence.

Software, software and more software at WWDC 2023

Last but not least, we need to talk about software. We already mentioned xrOS, but Apple will also take advantage keynote address the first WWDC 2023 to announce new versions of their operating systems. Help is valid for iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS 14, tvOS 17 and watchOS 10.

In any case, in the months leading up to the event, the most prominent news related to two of the aforementioned platforms. We are referring specifically to the Apple Watch and iPhone software, respectively.

In the case of watchOS 10, Apple will introduce a major redesign of its GUI. While it hasn’t been specified what changes will be applied, it’s hinted that they will be noticeable. If it does, it will be a welcome addition, given that the look and feel of the Apple Watch operating system hasn’t changed much since it hit the market in 2015.

Meanwhile, in the case of iOS 17, Apple decided to do something unusual. The company recently introduced new accessibility options that will come with the software, and the one that got the most attention was live speech. At the same time, users will be able to “duplicate their voice” so that the iPhone speaks for them, and it takes only 15 minutes to train it. It’s not unusual for a company to show a demo at WWDC 2023.

What’s new in artificial intelligence?

Today, artificial intelligence is on everyone’s lips, especially when it comes to tools like ChatGPT. However, Apple seems to be the only major technology in the world that is not among the winners of generative artificial intelligence today.. At least not the way Google, Microsoft or Amazon do it. This does not mean that those from Cupertino do not have interests or projects, so it is logical to ask ourselves if we can get news on this during WWDC 2023.

This does not mean that Apple will appear on the scene with an artificial intelligence chatbot or a service for generating images from voice commands sent by Siri. There is nothing further from reality. However, it would be wise to start focusing more on the use of AI in current or future products and services. O live speech in iOS 17 accessibility options may be the first evidence of this.

Let’s not forget that Apple is allegedly working on a new health and wellness service that can detect our emotions. It will use artificial intelligence applied to data collected by the Apple Watch to encourage users to improve their eating habits, exercise or sleep better. In addition, there are rumors that the intention was to bring it to the iPhone to detect mood swings by voice using new algorithms. Will we see this bet for the first time at WWDC 2023? Until then we have to wait. It’s good that the event is not far off.
