Report: AR, usage controls and no hardware for WWDC


Bloomberg's Mark Gurman posted some things he knows and speculation on next week's Apple World Wide Developer Conference. Gurman has been a long-time rumor monger with plugged in sources about Apple's plans.

The key points being he doesn't expect major new hardware announcements. Also, Apple may be focusing on augmented reality features for the next version of iOS. Lastly, Apple is expected to respond to concerns about screen time addiction and will offer some features to help people monitor their device usage.

On Monday, Apple will hold its annual Worldwide Developers Conference in San Jose, where it will lay out its software strategy for the next year and tease future hardware ambitions. Typically when the company upgrades the operating systems that power the iPhone and iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV, it touts enhancements that tie people ever closer to their devices and keep them engrossed in the latest apps and games.


This year, Apple will highlight the opposite: using gadgets less.
