The WWDC 2023 keynote today (June 5) gave Apple a chance to spell out its vision for the future — both short-term in the form of software updates that will be coming later this year and longer-term as represented by its brand new mixed-reality headset.
It's that product, dubbed the Apple Vision Pro, that figures to be the most remembered announcement from today's news-packed keynote, even though the headset won't ship until next year at a if-you-have-to-ask-you-can't-afford-it price of $3,499. Apple says the Vision Pro is the first step in a new product category it's called spatial computing, and really this first headset seems like a way to get developers interested in building software for a virtual world.
