Monday’s top tech news: an Apple headset this year? Finally?

It&rsquo;s been rumored for years, but 2023 might finally see Apple launch its long awaited mixed reality headset. That&rsquo;s according to Bloomberg&rsquo;s Mark Gurman (and previously reported by Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo), who reports that the device could be revealed ahead of this year&rsquo;s WWDC, ready to ship this fall. There&rsquo;s no guarantee that Apple will actually hit this internal deadline (it&rsquo;s apparently having issues with drop testing), but its announcement still seems closer than ever.
In the more immediate future, Raspberry Pi has a new camera module it’s announcing today. The big addition with the Camera Module 3 is autofocus support, which should allow Pi users to take crisper photographs with the diminutive DIY computers. There are also reports that Apple is preparing to open its first stores in India, a country that&rsquo;s an increasingly important manufacturing hub for the company.
Finally, if you missed out on our CES coverage this year, then I heartily recommend giving our CES awards a read as a nice summary of the biggest announcements of the show. You can find a complete roundup of our coverage here; just be warned that it&rsquo;s a little... exhaustive.
For now, here&rsquo;s a silly tweet to start your day:
