The new unnamed yet headset could come with a number of features we have listed below:

• AR/VR with the ability to switch modes
• An external battery pack that is worn at the waist.
• Lightweight and comfortable design
• 4K micro-OLED displays.
• Iris scanning for authentication.
• Apple silicon chips as used in the Mac.

15-inch MacBook Air

Among the hardware, Apple could also announce a 15-inch MacBook Air for buyers who would want a non-Pro machine. It could come with M2 chips as M3 is still too early to expect for powering the devices. Leakster Ming-Chi Kuo says the new MacBook Air series will use M2 and M2 Pro chips but the idea is debated. Some outlets claim the gadgets will feature new M3 chips.

Of all the iOS 17 will again be the most-talked software. As per the rumors, the iOS 17 is going to bring in the “most requested features” by users. But there is no indication of what they could and there doesn’t seem to be a major feature integration either. However, iPhone users could expect some quality improvements with the next update.

The iOS 17 will have support for the AR/VR headset, and sideloading apps in European markets among other features.
