Apple has announced the schedule for its annual developers conference, WWDC 2023, which will run from June 5 to June 9. The keynote address will begin on June 5 at 10 a.m. Pacific Time and is expected to include announcements about iOS 17, macOS 14, watchOS 10, an AR/VR headset, and a new MacBook Air. The event will primarily be online with in-person attendance limited to randomly selected developers and media personnel who have been invited to attend a special day at Apple Park on June 5. Additionally, there will be over 175 session videos available for free on the Apple Developer website and app.

Apple has announced a multibillion-dollar deal with Broadcom to manufacture key components for its devices in the United States. The agreement will see Apple use 5G radio frequency and wireless connectivity components, including FBAR filters, that are designed and manufactured in the U.S. This partnership is part of Apple's commitment to invest $430 billion in the U.S. economy over five years. The company also noted that it already supports over 1,100 jobs in Broadcom's Fort Collins FBAR filter manufacturing facility, and the partnership will see continued investment in automation projects and training programs for technicians and engineers.

Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) is expected to feature the debut of Apple's mixed reality headset, which will offer both virtual and augmented reality experiences. The event will also likely include updates for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and more. Additionally, there may be a new 15-inch MacBook Air with an M2 chip and a mental health-focused journaling iPhone app. Apple may also preview changes to comply with the European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), such as allowing sideloading and third-party app stores on iPhones and iPads. There are also rumors about upcoming Macs and Apple's next move in AI technology.

Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) are boosting optimism about the productivity of businesses in the future and contributing to a surge in the stock market.

Apple has developed a new accessibility feature called Personal Voice, which allows people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) to create and use a digitized version of their own voice using an iPhone, iPad or Mac. The feature needs only 15 minutes of spoken phrases for training and does all processing locally. After creating a Personal Voice, users will be able to turn their typed text into digitized speech in their own voice. Apple worked closely with members of the ALS community to implement the feature in a way that met their needs from the practical to cultural aspects.

Apple has released its first-ever "App Store Transparency Report," which provides detailed information on app removals and appeals, developer account terminations, government requests for app takedowns, and more. The report is part of Apple's settlement with a group of developers in 2021 and the agreement with shareholders to publish additional App Store data. The report includes data on rejected apps, removed apps by category or violation type, terminated developer accounts by provision violated, terminated customer accounts, fraudulent transactions prevented value, average weekly visitors to the App Store and downloads/redownloads/updates.

Apple is set to release a mixed-reality headset called Reality, which will run on a new xrOS operating system and cost around $3,000. The device has been in development for seven years and has deviated from CEO Tim Cook's initial vision of a pair of unobtrusive eyeglasses that could be worn all day. Instead, the headset resembles a pair of ski goggles and requires a separate battery pack. The device is expected to be a major achievement for Cook and could be the foundation of a post-iPhone era for Apple. However, doubts remain about the device's potential success, given the lack of a real market for mixed-reality headsets.

Apple introduced new accessibility features to help people with disabilities, including Assistive Access for cognitive disabilities, Live Speech for nonspeaking users, and Point and Speak in Magnifier for low vision users. Assistive Access simplifies iPhone apps to focus on essential features. Live Speech allows users to type what they want to say during calls and conversations. Point and Speak identifies text for low vision users to interact with objects. The features use machine learning to ensure privacy while providing innovative tools to connect people in new ways. Apple celebrates Global Accessibility Awareness Day with new features, curated collections, and more to make technology accessible to all.

Apple is expected to use TSMC's new 3nm chip manufacturing process for its upcoming A17 Bionic chip in the iPhone 15 Pro and M3 chip in future Macs and iPads. This will provide a significant boost in performance and efficiency over the current 4nm chips. Apple has reportedly booked nearly 90% of TSMC's initial 3nm production capacity for this year, which will provide a growth driver for TSMC in the second half of 2023. The 3nm chips may feature up to 40 compute cores and provide the biggest leap in Apple silicon chips since 2020. However, Apple devices will eventually migrate to an enhanced 3nm process called N3E which is not expected to ramp up production until 2024.

Technology entrepreneur, philanthropist, and co-founder of multinational technology giant Apple, Steve Wozniak, has criticized Elon Musk, billionaire CEO of Tesla and also owner and CEO of Twitter, for failing to fulfill the promise to launch self-driving cars.
