Apple’s highly anticipated WWDC developer conference is set to kick off next week with a keynote on June 5th. While the event will cover a range of topics related to iOS, MacOS, and watchOS, the primary focus for many attendees will be on the expected announcement of Apple’s XR headset. Bloomberg has been leading the charge on leaks surrounding the headset, which is said to be a mix of both AR and VR technologies. While pressure to ship the product has hit a fever pitch, sources suggest that CEO Tim Cook wanted to get things just right for what could be the defining product of his tenure.
Apple is a multinational technology company headquartered in Cupertino, California. The company is known for its hardware products, including the iPhone, iPad, and Mac computers, as well as software products such as iOS, MacOS, and watchOS.
CEO Tim Cook has been with Apple since 1998 and took over as CEO in 2011 after Steve Jobs resigned due to health issues. Since then, Cook has led the charge on Apple’s push into new areas, such as wearables and healthcare technology. The expected announcement of the XR headset at WWDC could be a defining moment for Cook and Apple as they aim to redefine yet another hardware category.
