Apple WWDC 2023

Thought I’d make this a topic to separate the ongoing chat from the iOS 16 thread with a month to go until WWDC, so this thread is for:

iOS 17
iPadOS 17
macOS 14
watchOS 10
tvOS 17
AR/VR Headset
& any relevant rumours (15" Macbook Air etc)

Edit: Can someone figure out how to capitalise the WWDC, it keeps changing it

So many edits, great to see people at hand though haha

I’m looking forward to this because of Apple focusing more on “nice to haves” since putting more resources into getting the vrOS.

It is a shame we won’t be able to get the dev betas though

Ha, I tried to edit it too and then gave up!

I’m less interested than in previous years, mainly because IOS has been, as I see it, in a wave of stability rather than evolutionary change. Which is not a bad thing!

For me I’d like to see slight improvements to core apps such as calendar, mail and better cross device sync around things such as music, freeform etc.

Previously I used to always DL the beta but since I bank with HSBC I think I’ll wait until the Public beta comes out since they’ll almost certainly block it.

Assume you’ve still got the beta profile installed? I removed mine thinking it wouldn’t get sent to me anymore, I guess I should have waited :pensive:

What version are you running? If you get back onto the Dev beta track it’ll almost certainly remove itself from you as an option


Alas, I don’t have the option :frowning:

Of the rumours I’ve seen so far, I’m most excited for the possibility of iPadOS getting Lock Screen widgets / live activities and for live/interactive widgets on iOS.

Obviously nothing concrete yet but also very intrigued by the supposed ‘biggest ever’ watchOS update :eyes:

HomeKit improvements please!

I hope they improve the health app. It’s too much at the moment. Everything is just plonked in there, with little to no context and I need to just “favourite” things to view information.

I would love a holistic approach to the app giving me my useful trends and data and advice on next steps across a range of things. Oh and a nice widget please.

It’s also unlikely but a steps counter (for some reason Apple doesn’t like steps but I still use 10,000 as a benchmark) and - and this is unlikely - support to connect with Fitbit users for leaderboards. Currently adding “friends” on Apple Watch/Fitness isn’t very good.

Ah right. I suspect when you update to that Dev Beta the option for Dev beta’s will go, based on experience.

Urgh. I did seem to remember they at least allowed the Public beta, guess there’s only one way to find out!

Yes Please!

Interesting. Now that you can’t get the series 3 and the SE is the entry level (from what it looks like) I’d love to see some serious re-work of the faces. Some nicer analogue options plus a slightly better interface overall.

I’m now kinda hopeful for next month, even if its just the BNPL option, it at least gets the ball rolling

Even thought the chance of it happening is about 0.1% I will still be hoping for a sneak surprise new mini iPad. I want to buy one but it’s too late to buy the current one :laughing:

Isnt the mini iPad just the Pro Max :rofl:

Theyre kind of big but I have to say over the years Ive been finding myself thinking mine is small or shrinking

:laughing: I already have a Pro Max so maybe I don’t need a baby iPad after all!
