New Macs, a mixed-reality headset, iOS 17, and More Are What To Expect From Apple WWDC 2023
This month on June 5th, Apple’s major summer event, WWDC 2023, is slated to take place. Numerous announcements are anticipated, including iOS 17, iPadOS 17, a new MacOS, and new gear. The widely publicized mixed-reality headgear and new Macs are among the highly anticipated goods. Apple is referring to the event as a “new era,” which suggests that significant developments are anticipated.
EVERYTHING APPLE COULD SHARE AT WWDC 2023 IS LISTED BELOW:
Expected: “Several New Macs”
Mark Gurman of Bloomberg reports that Apple will present’several new Macs’ during the event. The third-generation Apple silicon M3 chipsets, which comprise the M2, M2 Pro, and M2 Max, may power the future Macs, but it is unclear whether they will replace them. Gurman recently said that M3-powered Macs will not be available in time for a debut around WWDC 2023, and as of right now, Bloomberg reports that this seems to be the case.
According to Bloomberg, “the company is planning two new Mac models, internally referred to as Mac 14,13 and Mac 14,14, that will run the M2 Max processor unveiled in January and an M2 Ultra chip that has not yet been revealed.” The M1 Ultra processor included in the Mac Studio, which was introduced in March of last year, may be replaced with the reported M2 Ultra chip. Additionally, a new 15-inch MacBook Air model with the M2 processor is anticipated during the event.
Gurman anticipates that the WWDC 2023 keynote will be one of the longest ones Apple has ever held due to the enormous amount of items being introduced.
Mixed-Reality Headset Might Grasp Everyone’s Attention
Apple’s mixed-reality headset, also known as the AR/MR headset or the MR headset, is anticipated to be the event’s main attraction, according to rumors that say many industry experts were invited. According to Bloomberg, this launch will likely be just as significant for the corporation as the introduction of the first iPhone and might even have an impact on Apple CEO Tim Cook’s “legacy.”
Apple’s first mixed-reality headset may cost over $3000 because to the high-end features, which include a tiny OLED panel with a display density of 4000 pixels per inch and a stunning 5000 nits of peak intended brightness. According to Mark Gurman, the headgear should work with the majority of iPad applications right out of the box. The iPad app store may greatly increase user adoption and assist Apple in defending the cost.
New MacOS, iPadOS, XrOS, and Software Galore
Apple will introduce iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and the next macOS at WWDC 2023, with an emphasis on software and developer-focused innovations. iOS 17 is now anticipated to have a number of “nice to have” additions despite initially being scheduled as an incremental release. MacRumors earlier reported that the OS may debut a new Journaling app and a reworked Control Center.
When it comes to iPadOS 17, it will get health-related capabilities and get the iPad’s Health app.
The new macOS 14, which is anticipated to bring about a number of quality-of-life enhancements, will also be shown at the keynote.
In-depth information on Apple’s xrOS software, which is expected to power their mixed-reality headset, may also be made available. Through a subsidiary, the corporation has registered the xrOS wordmark as a trademark in New Zealand. According to rumors, Apple has already submitted a trademark application for the same name.
