Macs, MR, and more: Everything coming from Apple in a jam-packed June

June is always a big month for Apple enthusiasts. WWDC always starts off the month with a look at all the new operating system updates coming to your iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV in the fall, and developers get an early beta version right away.

The unveiling of iOS 17, macOS 14, and watchOS 10 would be exciting enough, but Apple also often releases new products at WWDC, and this year we expect a new 15-inch Macbook Air. We might see updates to the Mac Studio as well and perhaps even, finally, a peek at the Mac Pro powered by Apple Silicon.

This year is expected to be a WWDC for the history books, though. Just about everyone expects Apple to mark its entry into a major new product category for the first time since Apple Watch with the unveiling of its mixed reality headset (likely dubbed Reality Pro or Reality One). The headset isn’t expected to be available until at least the fall, but we should get our first glimpse into what it looks like and how it works.

Here’s a brief rundown of everything we expect from Apple in June, both at WWDC and throughout the month.

Worldwide Developers Conference

WWDC is a week-long event that kicks off with a big keynote presentation at 10 am PT on Monday, June 5. That’s where all the most exciting announcements happen–we’ll get a look at the new operating system updates for the fall, including iOS 17, macOS 14, and watchOS 10.

Developer betas for the new operating systems generally release right away, with public betas starting a few weeks later (possibly in July). There are developer sessions throughout the week, and interesting little details often trickle out of those, too.

However, this year’s WWDC will feature a lot more than just software. Rumors say Apple will unveil “several” new Macs along with our first look at the long-rumored new mixed-reality headset.

New hardware

15-inch MacBook Air: For months now we’ve been telling you of rumors that the 15-inch MacBook Air would launch in the spring. We expect Apple to announce it at WWDC, with availability either immediately or the following week.
