Apple's WWDC and the Mixed-Reality Headset
WWDC 2023 is one of the most anticipated events from Apple this year, and this is because the company was highly rumored of new hardware which has been long awaited by the public in the past years. The speculations of the mixed-reality headset which Apple secretly developed for years may finally arrive in this year's WWDC, but there are no guarantees on this.
The Cupertino giant has been significantly secretive about this, as there were claims that the AR/VR device is in development since 2018, and that it was already known by its executives. Nevertheless, it remained in secret, and only its top executives were invited to demonstrate it, also under the veil of secrecy from the company.
WWDC is a time and place for the famous Apple operating systems, software, and other developments to shine, centering on a dedicated event to showcase its improvements that will arrive soon.
With the significant excitement for WWDC 2023, its confirmation for this year is a bright light at the end of the tunnel, as Apple kept the public in the dark for so long, and the event may finally bring answers to confirm or deny the rumors behind its mixed-reality headset, along with the showcase of its tech.
