During all of the excitement and contrasting negativity that surrounded the announcement of the Apple Vision Pro headset at this week’s WWDC, all I could think about was that here was yet another Apple event without the launch of a soundbar.
Yes, I realise that WWDC is primarily an event aimed at developers and therefore with a primary focus on software, but Apple does regularly also announce hardware at the event, as it did this year with the Vision Pro and a couple of Macs. In fact, the original HomePod was announced at WWDC 2017, so while an Apple soundbar was probably never very likely to be announced this week, it wasn’t beyond the realm of possibility.
