Big buzz around Apple's highly anticipated AR/VR headset ahead of WWDC 2023
Technology fans across the world are agog for Apple's keynote on June 5 at the tech giant's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). The annual conference, which will go through June 9, is a chance for developers and hardcore Apple fans to get a sneak peek at the company's product line up and updates. Moreover, there are engineering sessions, one-on-one lab appointments, and the Apple Developer Forums, where the audience has a chance to engage with Apple engineers.
The expected announcements this year include iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS 14, watchOS 10, tvOS 17, and, potentially, the much-awaited AR/VR headset.
The Apple AR/VR headset, rumoured to be named “Reality Pro,” has been generating much excitement and speculation in the tech community.
