Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>O) rolls out its usual stream of upgrades to operating systems for its iPhones, iPads and Macs at its annual software developer conference Monday, analysts and developers will be scouring between the lines for any hints about how a future mixed-reality headset might work.<\/p>\n

That headset is likely to use cameras to pass a view of the outside world into a high-resolution display that can overlay digital objects on physical surroundings and could arrive in March of next year, said Anshel Sag, principal analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy. Such a device would be Apple\u2019s first entry into a new category of computing device since the Apple Watch shipped in 2015 and would put it in direct competition with Meta (FB.O), which has disclosed plans for a mixed-reality headset code named \u201cCambria\u201d to be released this year.<\/p>\n

But neither Sag nor other developers and analysts interviewed by Reuters expect a sneak peek at the headset on Monday.<\/p>\n

Instead, they will be looking for buried hints about the future device such as improvements in how Apple\u2019s devices process augmented reality scenes. They will be on the lookout for small surprises in so-called \u201cspatial\u201d features in which devices understand how they are being used in three-dimensional space, said Andrew McHugh, who co-founder of an app called Vivid that lets users virtually step inside their videos and photos. Apple has previously rolled out features such as spatial audio for its wireless headphones, where sounds change as users turn their heads.<\/p>\n

While a headset is unlikely on Monday, Apple might announce an updated version of its Mac Pro computer, which is aimed at users such as developers who need a lot of computing power and is the last machine in Apple\u2019s lineup to use a central processor from Intel Corp (INTC.O). That machine would likely feature a powerful processor made up of multiple Apple Silicon chips fused together with advanced packaging technology, said Ben Bajarin, head of consumer technologies at Creative Strategies.<\/p>\n

Analysts expect some of the day\u2019s biggest takeaways to be updates to core products like the iPad. Bloomberg reported that Apple plans to overhaul the device\u2019s operating system to make it better for working with multiple apps and a keyboard. Such a move would reflect the fact that higher-end iPads have processor chips that are as powerful as Apple\u2019s Mac computers, but also features that those Mac computers do not have, such as touch screens and cellular data connections.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor years, Apple pointed to the iPad as the computer for everyone. Now it feels increasingly like the Mac is the computer for everyone. If that\u2019s the case, where do you take the iPad?\u201d said Tom Mainelli, group president for consumer and device research at IDC.<\/p>\n

Mac sales grew 23% to $35.2 billion the Apple\u2019s most recent fiscal year, powered by a combination of increased purchases of laptops for working from home and its introduction of its own line of Apple Silicon chips to power the machines. Bajarin said Apple might roll out new features designed to make Macs easier to use in corporate environments in a bid to takeaway market share from PC makers who rely on Microsoft Corp\u2019s Windows operating system.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do think we\u2019re on the cusp of an outbreak of Macs in enterprise,\u201d Bajarin said.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg has reported that Apple might release a new version of its MacBook Air laptop, one of its top-selling models for students and most office workers, with a new chip called the M2, though some analysts like Bajarin believe Apple might save the debut of that model for later in the year when the company typically introduces products aimed at consumers.<\/p>\n
