Apple WWDC23 will start at the top of the clock.
Since the Apple Watch, Apple is preparing to present its most innovative hardware product in years at its Worldwide Developers Conference. The company is expected to launch a “mixed reality” headset that combines augmented reality and virtual reality technologies.
Apple CEO Tim Cook has long championed the potential of augmented reality to enhance communication and collaboration. However, headphone success is not guaranteed as previous attempts by tech companies to popularize headphones have struggled to gain mass acceptance, and the market remains relatively niche.
The conference will also include a range of announcements, including software updates for devices such as the iPhone and Apple Watch. The company may also hint at plans to integrate more artificial intelligence across its products and services.
