Apple reveal augmented reality headset described as ‘most advanced device ever’

Apple held one of its biggest events of the last decade on Monday, launching a product that could redefine the way we look at the world.

The company’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) began with a keynote from Apple Park in California led by CEO Tim Cook, who described the company’s new $3,499 (£2,800) Vision Pro headset as “revolutionary”.

The device combines virtual reality and augmented reality, with Apple claiming it heralds a “new era of spatial computing”.

The world’s most valuable company also used the keynote to unveil a major overhaul of its Mac lineup, as updates for its other platforms. This year, that meant the release of iOS 17 for iPhones, WatchOS 10 for Apple Watch, and a new iPadOS.

The Vision Pro also came with its own software, called VisionOS, which supports many of the same apps found on iPhones.
