What to expect from WWDC 2023?
It goes beyond that this year’s Apple developer event will feature news on both hardware and software. The head of the equipment segment will be, according to rumors, a virtual and augmented reality viewer from a Californian company.
Equipment news
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has already shared some insights into Reality Pro, as Apple would call its virtual and augmented reality glasses, from high-resolution screens to manual control and eye-tracking capabilities, with multiple cameras, the new xrOS operating system, and a lightweight software design. compared to competitors. The switch will allow you to easily switch between virtual reality and augmented reality. With all these characteristics, the price of the sight will be high: $ 3,000.
An affordable version of the device, costing around $1,500, will be in Cupertino’s plans, albeit for 2024 or 2025. On the other hand, Reality Pro could launch this summer.
According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, it could also be that Apple delays the launch until it decides it can get “an iPhone moment.” Likewise, doubts may arise about its design, as according to various reports, the team in charge of it still considers it to be very heavy.
Finally, the viewfinder will have an M2 chip inside, 16GB of RAM, a display with 5000 nits of brightness and 4K resolution for each eye. More reason to think it will be an expensive gadget.
Another piece of hardware that will see the light of day is the 15.5-inch MacBook Air, according to analyst Ross Young. In terms of finish, it would be its main novelty, meaning it would be very similar to the current 13-inch Air, as well as the M2 processor.
WWDC 2023 will also make room for other Apple-branded machines, from the new 13-inch MacBook Pro to the Mac Pro, which has been expected since last year’s event.
Is a new 24-inch iMac possible? There would be nothing strange in this, since the last release of this type from the company was two years ago (M1 processor).
Software News
If you want to be strict, WWDC is meant to oversee Apple’s rollout in the software segment, especially as it relates to its computers and mobile devices.
With regards to iOS 17, there are rumors that this version is more of a response to fixing certain bugs of its predecessor, however, it will have one or two surprises, such as a redesigned Control Center, a diary app so that users can do all sorts of personal annotations, additional features for Dynamic Island and improvements for apps like Apple Music, Wallet, and Find My. It is also expected that Apple will allow the installation of third-party app store developments in accordance with European Union law, in particular the Digital Markets Act.
Curiously, the personal diary app offered topic suggestions and a kind of activity log, among other tools.
The Apple Watch engine, watchOS 10, will get a major update at WWDC 2023, unlike iOS. First, the new widget system will allow you to get more key information without launching the application. Similarly, the main interface will display a more intuitive level of navigation, according to a MacRumors report.
As for macOS 14 and tvOS 17, we’ll have to wait to hear about their news, as there aren’t many reports about these operating systems for Mac and Apple TV, respectively.
The good news is that we are hours away from the start of yet another event that is also attracting worldwide attention. The WWDC 2023 schedule is now available and “features an impressive list of online events for Apple developers around the world to enjoy,” the company added.
