The 2022 WWDC, hosted by Apple, will take place between June 6 and 10, and will feature some of the most prominent names in technology.
Apple has announced that it will improve four new device and software models on June 6, ahead of the 33rd World Developers Conference (WWDC), which will begin this year. It plans to release iOS 15, iPadOS 15, macOS Monterey, and watchOS 8 devices and software models.
Furthermore, fanatical Apple support forums such as MacRumours have discovered that clicking Memoji characters reveals an augmented reality mode with three action card characters that can be requested.
For the past few years, Memoji characters have been a constant in Apple's consumer brand strategy.
These cards are expected to be promoted at WWDC as Web2 items with no real or tradable value and used solely for collection purposes.
However, because of the visual similarities between RTFKT Studios' CloneX avatars and Gary Vaynerchuk's VeeFriends Series 2 animated cards, this feature has sparked some speculation within the NFT community about the potential for future Apple NFTs.
During Apple's Q1 2022 earnings call, CEO Tim Cook expressed optimism about the social adoption of augmented reality and metaverse technologies, stating the company's intention to "invest appropriately" in the emerging industry.
Apple's mixed reality headset, which provides both virtual and augmented reality functions, was supposed to be released during the WWDC conference, but this appears unlikely due to technical issues during development.
The company recently applied for a trademark license for RealityOS, which is allegedly the mixed reality headset's operating software.
