Apple is able to keep software under wraps because it cuts out the supply chain leaks. I’m hoping to see some big announcements for iPadOS and watchOS. The iPad still has a lot of multi-tasking opportunity to be unveiled to catch up to the Mac. And the Apple Watch hasn’t really changed much in years. But rumors say that this is the year that Apple will make some significant changes to how watchOS works.
We know that WWDC is going to be software focused and that hardware announcements are never guaranteed. But this year sounds like it’s going to be special. The chatter about Apple’s new AR/VR headset is at a fever pitch. This would be an entire new product line from Apple and that doesn’t happen very often.
My thoughts on the headset is that this is the inevitable road to the future. I’ve written about how wearing glasses makes a lot more sense than carrying a little screen in your hand. And people always want larger screens but struggle with how to comfortably carry these screens around with them. Virtual screens in your glasses solves this problem.
As of this writing we only have 2 more days to see what Apple has been working on the past year. And it’s the stuff which we don’t even know about that will probably get the biggest headlines. So let the show begin!
