Apple didn't mention AI in its press release, but said WWDC 2024 will focus on upgrades to VisionOS, the software that powers Apple Vision Pro. Apple first unveiled the mixed reality headset at WWDC 2023 last year and released it earlier this year. The headset pushed the boundaries of AR and VR, but the device's hefty price tag of $3,500 meant some consumers were waiting to see how the device would develop, so it will be announced at WWDC 2024. Further adoption is likely as new features of the device are revealed.
Apple will once again be hosting WWDC 2024 in person at Apple Park, and those who didn't get an invite or weren't able to attend will still be able to watch online. The event, as per tradition, will begin with a keynote address from Apple CEO Tim Cook on his June 10th date, followed by a multi-day program aimed at developers building software across Apple's ecosystem. The sessions will continue and end on June 14th.
