Plus more camera tech for the Raspberry Pi, and we’re saying goodbye to this year’s CES.

It’s been rumored for years, but in 2023, Apple could finally launch its long-awaited mixed reality headset. That’s according to Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman (and previously reported by Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo), reporting that the device could be unveiled ahead of this year’s WWDC, ready to ship this fall. There’s no guarantee that Apple will actually meet this internal deadline (it apparently is have problems with drop testing), but the announcement still seems closer than ever.

In the more near future, Raspberry Pi has a new camera module that it is announcing today. The big addition to the Camera Module 3 is autofocus support, allowing Pi users to take sharper photos with the tiny DIY computers. There are also reports that Apple is preparing to open its first stores in India, a country that is becoming an increasingly important manufacturing center for the company.
