Apple has a little AR teaser for WWDC (spotted by MacRumors). To see it, visit the Apple Events website using Safari on your iPhone or iPad and tap “AR Experience,” point your camera at a wall, and you’ll get a colorful animated logo with June 6th, 2023 — the WWDC keynote date — printed inside.

Apple’s mixed reality headset is expected to be the biggest announcement at this year’s WWDC.

The Apple logo floating in the air, casting a drop shadow on the wall, with a colorful animation showing only parts of it at a time, revealing the date June 5, 2023.
The Apple logo hints at the company’s rumored headset.
