Apple WWDC 2023: iOS 17, VR Headset, 'several' Macs expected

Apple WWDC 2023: WWDC 2023 is all set to kick start on June 5 and is traditionally known for sharing the first look at new software for iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches and Macs. However, the tech major has occasionally surprised people with some new hardware as well. This year seems to be full of surprises as rumours are that the Cupertino-based company may announce an augmented reality headset, a new 15-inch MacBook Air and the long-teased Apple Silicon-powered Mac Pro. 

Tech giant Apple will reportedly announce "several" new Macs at its upcoming event. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman tweeted on Wednesday: "I'm expecting three major focus areas next week: 1) several new Macs, 2) the mixed-reality headset, 3) the new OSs."

"With all of the new hardware and software, I expect the keynote to be one of Apple's longest ever and easily exceed two hours."

Later, Gurman reported that the tech giant is testing two new Mac desktopsa" labelled as Mac 14,13 and Mac 14,14-- which will feature M2 Ultra and M2 Max chips.

Last week, the iPhone maker had unveiled the lineup for this year's WWDC, which will help developers learn about the latest technologies, tools, and frameworks coming to iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS.

Free for all developers, WWDC23 will take place in an online format from June 5 through 9, with an opportunity for developers and students to celebrate in person at a special experience at Apple Park on opening day.

Throughout the week, developers will be able to connect directly with Apple engineers and experts through one-on-one labs and activities in Slack for guidance on building innovative and platform-differentiating apps and games.
