This story is part of WWDC 2022, CNET’s complete coverage from and about Apple’s annual developers conference.
Apple’s keynote speech at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference is set for 10 a.m. PT June 2 at San Francisco’s Moscone Center — and it could kick off with a big reveal.
The generally reliable Mark Gurman at 9to5Mac reports that new hardware will be part of this year’s WWDC. And the opening keynote would be a likely scenario for an unveiling.
Cycling through recent rumors to make an educated guess, a smartwatch seems about right. Reports of Apple’s sapphire glass efforts and the mounting market pressure to deliver a really cool wearable lead me to believe they’ve cracked the code on a stellar smartwatch — or at least want to compete with Android Wear.
Of course, it could also be the long-rumored Apple HDTV — something that ties in to rumors of Beats headphones acquisition — an early release for the iPhone 6, or maybe even just a Retina display for MacBook Air.
I have contacted Apple for comment and will update this post when I hear back.
