Apples Next Big Thing: WWDC

The much-anticipated Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) is almost upon us and with each passing day, the tech world is abuzz with more tantalizing leaks. While we can anticipate the customary annual updates to iOS 17, Watch OS 10, and a freshly christened version of Mac OS, the excitement is ramped up this year as Apple is poised to unveil new hardware. For years, rumors have circulated about Apple's foray into the meta verse market with an innovative AR headset. Finally, after numerous delays, insider sources have confirmed that we will be treated to a sneak peek of this mythical product at WWDC.

Speculations surrounding Apple's much-awaited AR headset are rife, with insiders revealing exciting details about the tech giant's latest offering. The standalone device is rumored to be powered by bespoke Apple silicon chips and can function independently, although it can also be paired with an iPhone or Mac for seamless data transfer. The headset is said to boast two 4K high-resolution micro OLED displays with an impressive 3,000 PPI, providing an immersive and visually stunning experience for users. The interface is iOS-like, with a dedicated home screen hosting apps and widgets, making it intuitive and easy to navigate.

This game-changing headset is equipped with multiple 3D sensing modules that detect hand movements and objects around the user, supporting spatial detection via AirPods Pro. It is also rumored to feature an innovative new video-conferencing feature that projects a person's full face and body into a virtual environment for one-on-one calls.

As expected from Apple, the headset will run on the brand-new xrOS, "Extended Reality Operating System," which allows for seamless switching between AR and VR modes via a digital crown, similar to that of the Apple Watch. The app store will offer a variety of content, primarily focused on gaming, video streaming, and video conferencing.

As with any new technology, the headset's cutting-edge features come with a hefty price tag. Industry rumors suggest it could cost up to $3,000, making it a significant investment for those looking to get their hands on the latest tech. However, the benefits and experience of the device will undoubtedly make it worth the expense.
