Are you ready for Apple’s new reality (Pro)?
Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) is one of the Cupertino company’s most important events of the year. Traditionally, WWDC has always had a bigger focus on software, with hardware releases often taking the back seat.
Nevertheless, this year, there should be at least one big hardware announcement – namely, the unveiling of Apple’s long awaited mixed/virtual/augmented-reality (MR/VR/AR) headset. Thus, expectations are naturally high and we would understand if yours are as well.
This is why we have compiled everything we currently know about WWDC 2023 – from how to watch to what to expect – all in one place. If there is any new information, we will make sure to add it as quickly as possible. So what do we have so far?

WWDC 2023: What not to Expect?
WWDC 2023 will take place in a mostly online format, with a « special in-person experience » on the first day of the conference. In all likelihood, anyone with an internet connection will be able to follow WWDC 2023 online in real time. One of the easiest ways to do so will likely be via Apple’s official YouTube channel. We will be adding a link to the stream as soon as the latter has been made available. Additionally, we will also cover the event extensively here at PhoneArena.
Thanks to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, we already know that Apple will talk up Its mixed-reality headset in 2023 but not much else. Currently, there are no indications that Apple will be releasing any new hardware products beyond the aforementioned device, but if it does they will be little more than incremental spec bumps. Nevertheless, we expect a full array of software updates to all of Apple’s operating systems.
The highlight of this year’s event will almost certainly be Apple’s AR/VR headset, reportedly dubbed the “Reality Pro”. Based on what we know so far about the first-generation device, it will likely be a rather niche product.
