It’s official! Apple has confirmed that WWDC 2023 will be held from June 5 to June 9, later this year. The tech giant is expected to announce annual software updates for its devices, and there have been rumors of possible device announcements as well. In this article, we will discuss the main details of WWDC 2023 and what to expect from Apple’s much-anticipated press conference.
WWDC 2023: Date, time, location, and other key details
WWDC 2023 will be held from From June 5th to June 9th. The keynote address will begin 10 a.m. PT or 1 p.m. ET On the first day of the event, where the most important announcements will be made. Although the event will last for a few more days, it is mainly focused on developers who can try to learn more about new Apple technologies.
Like the past few years, WWDC 2023 will follow a hybrid format, taking place online and in person at Apple Park in California. The company will present a pre-recorded keynote to the audience online, while attendees in person will be able to view the pre-recorded keynote together and participate in developer and lab sessions. For those watching from home, the event will be broadcast live on the Apple YouTube channel and the Apple Events website.
At this year’s WWDC, Apple is expected to unveil the latest versions of its operating systems, including iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS 14, watchOS 10, and the next version of tvOS. In addition, Apple is also expected to make some hardware announcements, which will likely include the highly anticipated mixed reality headset as well as new Macs with the M3 chipset. Here’s everything we know so far:
iOS 17, watchOS 10, macOS 14, and more
The next major iOS release, iOS 17, is expected to appear along with other software updates. Bloomberg trusted Mark Gorman I initially mentioned that iOS 17 would be a “tweak release” to address the large number of bugs found in iOS 16, but Apple seems to have changed direction since then halfway through.
Gorman propose now iOS 17 will bring some “nice” features. While it may not come with “improved support like last year’s revamped lock screen,” iOS 17 is expected to check out some of the most user-requested features.
Apple may also have to make some groundbreaking changes to iOS due to the Digital Markets Act in Europe. According to some reports, iOS 17 will support third-party web browsing engines. Currently, apps like Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge have to rely on Apple’s WebKit engine to render a webpage.
In addition, Apple could also announce support for third-party apps (or third-party app stores) for iPhones running iOS 17 since European legislation requires Apple to allow sideloading apps from 2024.
At the moment, no information has been leaked about watchOS 10, macOS 14, and tvOS 17 software updates. Many users have been requesting third-party watch faces on their Apple Watch for some time now, while macOS users have been asking for widget support. Will these (and other features) be included in these Apple software updates? Only time will reveal what Apple has in store for its users.
Mixed reality headset
One of the most anticipated announcements at WWDC 2023 is Apple’s mixed reality headset, dubbed the Reality Pro. Apple has reportedly been working on its mixed reality headset for a number of years now, and the company is expected to finally show it off at WWDC 2023. The company is expected to show off not only the device, but also its operating system, “xrOS,” and the features that will enable it. Developers create applications for the headset.
According to reports, Apple’s upcoming mixed reality headset will be priced at $3,000 and will initially be available in limited markets. The device is expected to provide users with virtual and augmented reality experiences, such as a new way to hold video conferencing and a new way to consume multimedia content, possibly using a combination of transparent lenses and displays. Previous reports also indicate that Apple’s Reality Pro headset will have two 8K displays, multiple cameras, and an M-series chipset.
Reports indicate that Apple has already given a sneak peek of its upcoming mixed reality headset to a select few executives, who reportedly found the device uncomfortable to wear and lacked a “killer app”. Despite these comments, Apple is still expected to announce the headset at WWDC 2023. Bloomberg’s Mark Gorman He believes that the headphone path can follow the path of the Apple Watch, which initially faced skepticism but eventually became a market leader.
New Macs?
Surprisingly, Apple is also expected to announce the successor to the highly successful M2 MacBook Air. While the company is not known to update its MacBook Air series annually, some reports indicate that Apple has the third generation of its M-series chipset, the Apple M3, ready, and the first device to show it will be the 2023 MacBook Air.
The M2 MacBook Air has been praised for its fresh design and great performance, and the M3 is expected to be even more powerful. According to reports, the M3 chipset could be manufactured using a 3nm process, which would make it more energy efficient than the M2. There is also speculation that Apple will launch a 15-inch version of the MacBook Air – the first of its kind – at WWDC 2023.
Finally, Apple can also show off some new desktop computers at its June keynote. Bloomberg reports that Apple has new iMac models, codenamed J433 and J434, in the works, and they could be announced at this year’s WWDC. Moreover, the company could also showcase the long-awaited M-series version of the Mac Pro.
On the whole, there may be a lot of interesting Apple announcements on the way. From new hardware and software releases to expected improvements to existing products, Apple’s June keynote is expected to be full of surprises. What does Apple have in store for us this year?
