Following its annual tradition, Apple will showcase software updates for all of its operating systems. iOS 17 is expected to come with many "user-requested" features, while watchOS 10 is expected to undergo a significant design update, introducing widgets to the Apple Watch. While not many details are known about macOS 14 and tvOS 17, Apple is also said to showcase its first-ever Mixed Reality operating system.
