As the name suggests, Apple’s Worldwide Developer’s Conference (WWDC) is aimed primarily at developers. However, it’s also a marketing opportunity with a well-publicized keynote and the announcement of new versions of Apple’s operating system that has iPhone, iPad and Mac users buzzing.<\/p>\n

This year, there will also be an event mysteriously titled “Special Event at Apple Park,” an all-day event on June 5th. What could it be about?<\/p>\n

Apple hasn’t confirmed anything, but this could have something to do with xrOS, the software platform that will power Apple’s Mixed Reality headset and the headset itself. The latest reports state that the headset is on track for a June launch, and some analysts believe it could boost the entire AR\/VR industry.<\/p>\n

The Apple Reality Pro is expected to be one of the more powerful XR headsets and will be priced accordingly. It is said to have micro OLED displays from Sony, dual processors manufactured by TSMC, 12 cameras and an external power supply. The price we’ve heard is $3,000, so it will be aimed at professionals rather than recreational users. The headset is expected to go on sale later this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
