Apple may be ready to talk about its much-rumored augmented reality glasses.
On Tuesday, Apple revealed that its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) is returning on June 7 in an online-only format. But the most curious part of the announcement is the Apple-created images that appear alongside it.
The company released at least three pictures, which all show a Memoji of a person staring at an Apple MacBook in awe. And in all the images, that person is wearing glasses.
The same glasses also appear to reflect the various apps popping up on the MacBook as it opens. But after viewing the images several times, we couldn’t help but wonder: What if the glasses themselves are actually generating the apps on the lenses? Hmm.
The company’s work on AR glasses and a VR headset has been rumored for years. Noted Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is boldly predicting that Cupertino will even launch its first foray into the technology by next year with an AR-VR headset that’ll use Sony’s micro OLED displays. According to Kuo, the product will cost around $1,000.
Of course, we could be overthinking all this. The images for WWDC 2021 are also a throwback to last November’s event, where Apple debuted its first ARM-powered MacBooks. During the announcement, SVP Craig Federighi opened a MacBook and bathed in its rainbow glow.

Still, it makes perfect sense to debut the AR glasses at WWDC. Doing so would encourage third-party developers to prepare software for the product. WWDC 2021 runs from June 7 -11, and anyone can attend for free, virtually. Stay tuned for our coverage.
