Ahead of WWDC next week, Apple has added a special AR Easter egg to its Events webpage, showing users a virtual pack of trading cards ahead of the big event that kicks off next Monday, June 6.
The AR Easter egg starts off by showing a sealed pack of trading cards, with users invited to tap the sealed packet to begin the AR experience. The pack then lifts off, with the seal being torn open and a set of three unique WWDC trading cards appearing, each featuring a different Memoji character to match Apple’s branding for the upcoming event.
When users tap on a card, the chosen card will spin around, showing both sides of the card before going back into the set.

How to get the WWDC AR trading cards
To see the AR Easter egg you need to use either an iPhone or iPad. Head to the Apple Events webpage and tap the WWDC22 Memoji characters at the top of the screen near the “Add to your calendar” button to begin the AR experience.
What will Apple announce at WWDC 2022?
The main focus at WWDC is on software, with Apple expected to announce iOS 16, iPadOS 16, the next macOS update, watchOS 9, tvOS 16, and more. Previous events have seen Apple unveil new hardware, such as the Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR making an appearance in 2019, so there is a possibility Apple may give us a glimpse at new hardware, despite the event being primarily for software.
Apple began the transition away from using Intel chips in the Mac in favor of Apple Silicon in 2020. At the time, Apple said it was starting a 2-year transition period, with only one Mac left to receive the M-series upgrade. With that in mind, we could see Apple announce a new M-powered Mac Pro at WWDC 2022, with the machine either launching at the event or being shown early ahead of a release towards the end of the year.
