Recently, on iOS/iPadOS 16 and macOS Ventura, Apple introduced a new whiteboarding/brainstorming app called Freeform.

I suspect it's possible that they intend this to be a whiteboarding/productivity app for their rumored upcoming AR/VR headset.

This market only resolves if either Apple announces an AR, VR, or MR head-mounted display, or if they don't release one before 2030. This headset must be intended to be purchaseable by the general public: a limited "devkit" won't count.

It resolves YES if the Freeform app is announced to be available to the general public within the first month of the launch of this device. If the app isn't available, it resolves to NO.

It must specifically be the Freeform app created by Apple: similar apps by third-party developers won't count. If the Freeform app is available only after the first month, it doesn't count and this resolves to NO. If the initial announcements of such a device leave it ambiguous as to whether Freeform is available, I may delay the resolution of this market until its release (rather than just announcement).

It resolves N/A if Apple doesn't announce an AR/VR/MR headset at all by 2030, or if something else prevents Apple from doing so (such as Apple ceasing to exist).

Freeform was mentioned during the WWDC keynote today that introduced Apple Vision Pro and visionOS.

That said, no specific date was given for Freeform’s availability. I’m going to wait on resolution for now to see if more news comes out.
