After the Apple Watch, Apple Aims to Launch its Another Flagship Device

Image credit : Apple One day from now, Apple might introduce its most ambitious piece of hardware in years. Apple (AAPL) is anticipated to unveil a "mixed reality" headset that offers both virtual reality and augmented reality, a technology that overlays virtual images on live video of the real world, at its Worldwide Developers Conference, which gets underway Monday at its Cupertino, California, campus. An AR/VR headset would be Apple's most significant hardware product launch since the introduction of the Apple Watch in 2015. It might usher in a new age for the business and potentially transform how millions of people interact with computers and their surroundings. But there are going to be a lot of announcements during the developers event, not just the headset. Apple will also display a lengthy list of software changes that will influence how users interact with its most well-known products, like as the iPhone and Apple Watch. In order to keep up with a resurgent arms race over the technology in Silicon Valley, Apple may potentially hint how it intends to incorporate AI into more of its goods and services. The ceremony will be broadcast live on YouTube and Apple's website. It is scheduled to begin at 10:00 PT/12:30 ET.

A ‘mixed reality’ headset

Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, has long professed interest in augmented reality. Apple now seems prepared to unveil the products it has been working on. The new headset, which may be called Reality One or Reality Pro, will display immersive video, have an interface similar to iOS, and feature cameras and sensors to enable users to control it with their hands, eye movements, and Siri, according to Bloomberg.

According to Bloomberg, Apple's new headset is anticipated to have apps for gaming, exercise, and meditation as well as access to iOS programs like Messages, FaceTime, and Safari. For instance, when using the FaceTime feature, the headset "renders a user's face and full body in virtual reality," giving the impression that both parties are "in the same room." In order to make the device more interesting for users and worthy of the high price tag, Apple may want to encourage developers to create apps and experiences for the product, as seen by the decision to launch it at WWDC.

New Macbook

A brand-new 15-inch MacBook Air with an M2 CPU is anticipated from Apple. The MacBook Air now comes in a 13-inch size. Before, customers who desired a larger Apple laptop had to purchase a more expensive MacBook Pro. Only minor modifications are anticipated this year, as opposed to the massive redesign of the lock screen and iMessage that was part of last year's revisions.

Apple seeks to show off its AI prowess.

Apple may seek to demonstrate how it is keeping up with artificial intelligence, Silicon Valley's current preoccupation, even though VR may be the event's main focus.

Uncertainty surrounds how it might function, but the initiative comes as Big Tech firms scramble to launch AI-powered products in the wake of ChatGPT's success. A feature that claims to imitate a user's speech for phone calls after only 15 minutes of training may also be demonstrated by Apple and expanded upon in this release. These accessibility technologies for the iPhone and iPad were previously touted by the company. The majority of other Big Tech firms recently described their AI plans. Apple may have the opportunity to do so at this event.
