WWDC 2023 officially opened at 10 am on 5/6 (0h00 Vietnam time) at the headquarters of Cupertino, California (USA). Apple is expected to introduce a "mixed reality" headset that offers both virtual and augmented reality technologies. If rumors are true, this will be the company's biggest hardware launch since the 2015 Apple Watch. It will herald a new era for the company and has the opportunity to revolutionize human-to-human interaction. computers and the world around them.
However, the headset is just one of many products that may appear at the event. Apple will demonstrate a series of software updates for the iPhone and Apple Watch. WWDC 2023 is livestreamed via Apple website and YouTube for remote monitoring.
Mixed Reality Headset
CEO Tim Cook has shown an interest in augmented reality (AR) for many years now. Finally, Apple seems ready to let the world know what it's up to.
According to Bloomberg, the new headset could be called Reality One or Reality Pro, using an iOS-like interface, immersive video, including sensors, cameras for users to control with hands, eye movements or Siri. The device is also rumored to have an outward-facing display to show the wearer's facial expressions and eye movements, allowing the person to interact with the wearer without feeling like they're talking to a human. robot.
It will feature many apps for games, exercise, meditation, and access to iOS apps like messaging, FaceTime, and Safari. With FaceTime, the headset will "render (render) the user's face and body in virtual reality" to make it appear that the two are in the same room, Bloomberg said.
Apple released iOS 16.5 patched 39 vulnerabilitiesThe decision to introduce the headset at WWDC suggests that Apple wants to encourage developers to write applications for the product to increase its appeal to customers, well worth the high price. The company is said to be considering a $3.000 selling price for the device, much higher than rival products, and testing the purchasing power of potential customers in the context of a gloomy global economy.
Other carriers are struggling to find "traction" for the device. In the years Apple develops products, the tech community has shifted from VR to another "hot" technology, artificial intelligence. Still, Apple's market power could breathe new life into the headset world.
New MacBook
Mixed reality devices may not be the only hardware present at WWDC 2023. Apple is also planning to launch a new 15-inch MacBook Air, using the M2 chip. In the past, if you wanted to buy a large-screen laptop from "Apple defect", users had only one option, the more expensive MacBook Pro.
New features for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch
WWDC has traditionally been a software-focused event. Most of the time here is to highlight the changes and upgrades of the iOS and iPadOS operating systems. Last year, Apple "overhauled" the lock screen and iMessage, so this year there won't be many new things worth mentioning.
The focus of iOS 17 is on health features, including the ability to track users' moods, eyesight ... Theo Wall Street Journal, Apple also launched a new note-taking app. In addition, when placing the iPhone horizontally, the iPhone screen will display utilities such as calendar, weather and other applications, similar to smart screens sold on the market.
Indispensable artificial intelligence
While the focus of the event may be VR, Apple will also want to let people know it's on pace with Silicon Valley in artificial intelligence (AI). The company is expected to introduce a digital coach service in advance, encouraging people to exercise, improve sleep, and eating habits. It's not clear how the service works.
In addition, Apple can demonstrate and expand accessibility tools for iPhone and iPad, including the ability to digitize users' voices, after only 15 minutes of training.
