This new version is expected to come with a new widget scrollable system that will provide glances at activity tracking, weather, calendar appointments, and so on. As a user, you can customize buttons like the Digital Crown and more. With the help of the new widget system, you can get key information on the Apple Watch, except opening an app.

• You can customize buttons such as the Digital Crown. 
• The company will be able to overhaul the Apple Watch Home Screen by providing a more intuitive layout than the app grid.

We can expect other announcements like tvOS 17, iPadOS 17, and macOS will be made at the WWDC 2023 event.

The bottom line:

Although Apple has a lot of new Macs, we don't expect all to appear at the event. Along with the upcoming MacBooks, the company is working on a Mac Pro. Besides, the company is working on its in-house chip, an updated 24-inch iMac, and the Mac Studio's two new models.

We are waiting for Apple's next move in the AI space. Although Apple didn't reveal its AI ambitions, its job listings indicate that the company is looking to hire those people who are specialized in the field. The company prevented employees from using ChatGPT concerning data leaks. It raises the question of whether it will create its own AI system for workers like Samsung.
