What to expect from WWDC23
So what's in store? In a word, plenty. There should be new software galore, with iOS 17, iPadOS 17, tvOS 17, macOS 14 and watchOS 10 all expected to be announced. These are all updated annually, so are a fairly safe bet to make an appearance.
New hardware is more of a rarity, though it does still happen. And its developers conference would be the perfect place for Apple to launch its first AR/VR headset, which according to reports will be aimed squarely at developers at first. The headset has been rumoured for years – with the likes of Meta/Facebook and Oculus yet to gain mainstream appeal, could this be VR's iPhone moment?
We could also see Apple launch a 15-inch MacBook Air.
Could we also see the AirPods Max 2? Apple's original over-ear headphones launched back at the end of 2020, so a sequel is due. Though some reports say we'll only see a new colour for the original pair, with a sequel launching later this year.
The rumoured AirPods Lite are also in doubt. We heard a load of rumblings suggesting Apple may follow Google and Samsung’s lead and release a “Lite” cheaper version of the AirPods over a year ago, but things have since gone quiet. We'll find out later today!
