Delhi : On June 10th, Apple will host its annual WWDC developer conference. According to rumours, they will present the highly awaited Apple Reality Pro AR/VR headset. But that's not all; Apple will also likely release realityOS software for the headgear and the upcoming iPhone model. For its iPhone and iPad models, the company will also unveil iOS 17 and iPadOS 17.

According to a claim by iPhoneSoft, three iPad models would no longer be supported by the future iPadOS 17. This is consistent with earlier reports that certain iPhone models would no longer be supported by iOS 17. The study lists the iPad models that won't work with iPadOS 17 and advises consumers to remember that iPad models released after 2017 should work with the new operating system.

Older models, however, might not be able to handle the most recent features and abilities. It's crucial to remember that even if a device is advertised as supporting a new software update, it might not necessarily support all of the capabilities that software has to offer.

According to the source, all iPhone models that can run iOS 16 will support iOS 17, despite an earlier story that said three iPhone models won't be supported by the new software version, models of the iPad that won't support iPadOS 17

The iPad 5th generation, the 9.7-inch iPad Pro 1st generation, and the 12.9-inch iPad Pro 1st generation are the three iPad models that are rumoured to no longer support iOS 17 once the updated software is released.

The iPad Air 3rd generation and after, the iPad 6th generation and later, the iPad mini 5th generation and later, and any iPad Pro model released in 2017 or later are among the iPad models that are most likely to be compatible with iOS 17.

Regarding the much anticipated releases at WWDC 2023, all eyes are on the forthcoming Macbook lineup and VR or AR headsets. According to a 9To5Mac story, Apple intends to release two versions of the next-generation MacBook Air, a 13-inch model and a 15-inch one, both of which will be equipped with the company's new M3 CPU. The 13-inch MacBook Pro is said to use the same chip as well.

The insider now believes that Apple will employ its most recent M3 chip for its new laptops, contrary to prior reports that the company planned to launch a 15-inch MacBook Air with an M2 series chip in April. There is a possibility that the unveiling of these 2023 MacBooks with the new CPU may happen at Apple's WWDC event.

Furthermore, Apple has yet to officially introduce its augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) headsets, despite long-running rumours to that effect. Given the official teaser image's depiction of headset lenses, it is rumoured that Apple will finally present its augmented reality and virtual reality products at this event.

Users are urged to take the information with a grain of salt because there is no confirmation of this. Apple might decide to forego the headset's release in order to focus on this event.
