Will Apple Reveal AR Hardware Today?

Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2017 gets underway today at 10:00 PDT (18:00 BST) today.

The mobile giant is expected to reveal new updates for its array of devices and operating systems including iOS, watchOS and tvOS, with rumours of a new iPad Pro and a Siri-powered rival to Amazon Echo.

But of course, we’ll be watching in the hope that the Cupertino powerhouse weighs into the AR battleground with iPhone 8 - and the smartglasses we keep hearing referred to as Project Mirrorshades - to take the fight to Facebook (read about their ambitions for VR and AR from F8) and Google (find out more on Daydream and Tango from I/O 17).
