watchOS 10
In the past few years, Apple has not introduced many upgrades to the , but that may change with the upcoming watchOS 10 update. Specifically, journalist Mark Gurman states that this is the biggest update to the watchOS operating system in several years.

Specifically, watchOS 10 will bring a new widget system, allowing users to easily access key information on the Apple Watch without opening an app. Widgets will be scrollable and enable quick views of activity tracking, weather, calendar appointments, and more.
Buttons like the Digital Crown can be customized more, with users able to choose to press to open the widget interface instead of the main screen. Apple may also refresh the main Apple Watch screen in some way, providing a more visual layout than the app grid.
Mixed AR/VR Reality Glasses
Apple's debut Mixed AR/VR headset, possibly named 'Reality One' or 'Reality Pro,' marks the tech giant's first new product category since the introduction of the Apple Watch in 2015. Rumored to be an ultra-premium device, it boasts impressive features and comes with a relatively hefty price tag.

- Sony's dual micro-OLED 4K display for a total resolution of 8K, surpassing competitors in display quality.
- Equipped with over 12 cameras to handle various recording tasks, from mapping the wearer's surroundings to tracking facial expressions, hand gestures, and leg movements.
- Facial expression tracking to translate the wearer's facial expressions into virtual avatars during chats and calls.
- Both augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) capabilities, allowing users to switch between them using a rotating knob similar to the Digital Crown. AR uses cameras to map the world around you, overlaying virtual objects onto the real world, while VR is entirely virtual, immersing the user in a virtual environment.
- Apple's Mixed AR/VR headset will be controlled by hand gestures detected by the built-in cameras.
- Powered by the potent M2 chip to meet all processing needs. Rumors suggest Apple will use two different processors for this product.
- No integrated battery; instead, the battery is attached to the AR/VR headset via a cable and worn in a pouch at the waist. Expected battery life is around two hours.
- Rumors indicate a slim and lightweight design for this AR/VR headset, expected to be lighter than competing products due to the absence of an integrated battery.
- Air typing support will be available, allowing users to handle text input without a physical keyboard. It will also support text input via iPhone.
- xrOS, the operating system running on the AR/VR headset, will include apps designed by Apple optimized for augmented reality, focusing specifically on gaming, teleconferencing, fitness, and multimedia. Apple will collaborate with game companies and third-party app developers for app experiences.
- The AR/VR headset will be able to run apps designed for iPad in a 3D environment and will also allow viewing content from platforms like Netflix and YouTube.
15-inch MacBook Air
A larger version of the is finally set to launch later this year, and we can expect its introduction at WWDC. Below are the features of this laptop.

- Approximately 15.5-inch screen size.
- Design and feature set similar to the current MacBook Air M2.
- M2 chip inside, with Apple offering variants with 8-core and 10-core GPU options. No M3 chip variant.
macOS 14 and tvOS 17
macOS 14 operating system will also be unveiled at WWDC 2023, but currently, there isn't much information available about it.
As for tvOS 17, the updates to tvOS are relatively small, so we shouldn't expect much beyond minor adjustments and a new screen saver.
