In 2017, Apple acquired passthrough VR HMD company Vrvana and eye-tracking firm SensoMotoric Instruments. Computer vision technology company Flyby Media was acquired by Apple in 2016. The company was known for making mobile AR software.
In 2015, Apple added Metaio to its AR portfolio. Apple's acquisitions in the AR/VR space Tim Cook once told me that Apple has "more than we need to run a company."Īpple acquired PrimeSense in 2013, the technology that powers FaceID was also featured in Xbox Kinect, and features depth-sensing camera tech that could come in handy in an augmented reality interface. I am most looking forward to how Apple is going to pitch its AR/VR headset and the new OS versions.With Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference 2023 set to kickoff tomorrow, I figured it might be a good time to compile all of the things that should be expected of the company's long-awaited Reality VR/AR headset reveal. There’s really a lot to look forward to here. (These could possibly get moved to the fall or even next year depending on when Apple can get some M3 chips.) Other products that could show up are the M2-based Mac Studio and that long-rumored Apple Silicon Mac Pro.
(This must be due to all that supply they still have after not selling a lot of M2-based Macs.) While initial rumors mentioned that it’ll get the new Apple M3 chip, that was later changed to just carry the existing Apple M2 chip. The big rumor on the hardware front besides that new headset is that 15-inch MacBook Air. While Apple doesn’t show off new hardware often at WWDC, there are some years that they do. They will most likely get features that either show up on or require iOS 17. MacOS 14 and tvOS 17 will also show up but there’s not much to talk about in this front so far. This may ultimately be a good move on Apple’s part if it wants the Watch to continue being the #1 watch in the world. Instead, we may see a return to Widgets and a focus on glanceable information.

We may start to see Apple move away from full apps due to most people not using them. WatchOS 10 will introduce extensive updates to the user interface. Despite my enthusiasm for this, Apple might limit sideloading for iPhones in Europe. The latter is thanks to new European regulations that forces Apple to support sideloading. Expect the usual improvements to existing apps and the notable support for sideloading apps in Europe. IOS 17 is rumored to introduce an overhauled Control Center and include a lock screen feature that will turn the iPhone into a “smart home display”.

Expect the next versions of Apple’s existing software to make their appearance during the keynote. I may seem like I totally have nothing to say here, but this is the least surprising part of this WWDC 2023 preview. The Obligatory New Versions of Software Section Unlike in the past, I’m not as confident that Apple would move the needle here. Even then, gaming is the only mainstream use case for getting one. Previous attempts by other companies lean towards certain niches. I’m really curious as to how Apple is going to pitch its AR/VR headset beyond its developers. Don’t be surprised if its rumored $3,000 price tag will end up being a reality. Unfortunately, this headset will be a very premium product that uses bleeding-edge tech.

A highlight feature is the ability for the Reality Pro to switch between VR and AR.

It’ll utilize Apple Silicon chips, two 4K microLED panels, and a variety of wireless technologies (Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, etc.).Īpple’s headset will be the home of xrOS, the company’s rumored mixed-reality platform. There may be cases where you can pair it with an iPhone for keyboard input or data transfer. The expectation is that Apple’s headset will be a standalone device. All of this really started when Apple announced ARKit during WWDC 2017.ĭubbed the “Apple Reality Pro”, it generally looks like most of the VR headsets that have already come out. This rumor has been swirling around for years now, but all signs point to this year. A lot of people are expecting Apple to unveil its AR/VR headset at WWDC 2023.
