WWDC 2023 is one of the most anticipated events from Apple this year, and this is because the company was highly rumored of new hardware which has been long awaited by the public in the past years. The speculations of the mixed-reality headset which Apple secretly developed for years may finally arrive in this year's WWDC, but there are no guarantees on this.
