Huge Apple event in March?

January 06, 2023

The rumor mill is gearing up for a monster Apple event in March.

There's a slew of cool hardware slated to be introduced, including the much-anticipated Mac Pro with Apple silicon and three new MacBooks.

In addition, Apple's other long-awaited product -- the AR/VR headset -- will likely not be introduced this month, as had been widely predicted.

Instead, the headset possibly could debut in the spring or at WWDC in June.

It seems unlikely to me that Apple will introduce new Macs at the same time as the headset, which will likely dominate everyone's attention.

If I were to bet, I'd say WWDC was the likely venue for the headset unveiling, because the device's success will rely so heavily on getting developers to make apps for it.

However it plays out, the next few months are going to be exciting.

Apple’s AR/VR headset development has reportedly hit another setback. As a result, TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo now predicts Apple will unveil the headset at a spring media event or at this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference.

"Funny enough, 20 years after we started Apple, there was nobody building computers for people again. You know? They were trying to sell consumers last year's corporate computers. We said, 'Well, these are our roots. This is why we're here. The world doesn't need another Dell or Compaq. They need an Apple.'" -- Steve Jobs, 1999.
