At WWDC, Apple gives a sneak peek at rOS, its operating system for VR headsets

The online event WWDC 2022 will be held in the first week of June next year. WWDC is primarily a showcase event showcasing Apple's software prowess across its ecosystem, focusing primarily on new versions of iOS, iPadOS, WatchOS, and Apple OS. There may be some unexpected surprises, like a peek at rOS and brand new Mac hardware.

Apple could use WWDC 2022 as an opportunity to showcase some parts of rOS (which stands for “Reality OS”), the operating system that powers its AR/VR headsets. The report highlights that despite rumors that Apple will launch the headphones, the company may miss the date for the full hardware debut. Instead, the headphones may arrive later this year or even next year. But for WWDC 2022, Apple will unveil iOS 16, with mentions of headphones and their interaction with iPhones suggesting a sneak peek may be in order. The company will host select developers and students in person at Apple Park for the keynote, so it can use the opportunity to let them learn more about what's next in this new field.

The event is expected to revolve around new updates to familiar software in the form of iOS 16 (Sydney), watchOS 9 (Kincaid), MacOS 13 (Rome) and tvOS 16 (Paris). It's possible that iOS will roll out updated notifications and health tracking features, while iPadOS might get a new multitasking interface. The Apple Watch can be upgraded to activity and health tracking.

The event could also be used to launch two new Macs, one of which could be a new MacBook Air, while the other could be an updated Mac mini, a 24-inch iMac, or a low-end 13-inch MacBook Pro . You never know how Apple could mix up its development plans for the Mac Pro and iMac Pro.
