Apple has changed the name of its Mixed Reality operating system to "xrOS."

The operating system that will power Apple's future Mixed Reality headset apparently has a new moniker. Apple now refers to the operating system as "xrOS," which it previously referred to as "realityOS."

Another indication that Apple is speeding up the development of the headgear before its introduction is this internal adjustment.

Apple renames its headset operating system internally

According to a Bloomberg story, the new name's "XR" stands for extended reality, which covers both augmented and virtual reality? Uncertainty aside, Apple might decide to use "xrOS" as the OS's official moniker.

A Mixed Reality version of Apple's Maps and Messages apps will be included in "xrOS." The business will also offer developers an SDK so they can make games and apps just for the headgear and then sell them to users through a platform-specific app store.

The identical "xrOS" operating system was being developed by a group of roughly 300 engineers at Meta at the same time. The business never did, nevertheless, trademark the name. On the other hand, Deep Dive LLC, which appears to be a front firm for Apple, has already trademarked xrOS in a number of nations.

Even though it has a potent M2 CPU, Apple's first VR headset is not anticipated to be primarily used for gaming.

Coming soon is Apple's AR/VR headset

Apple may launch its AR/VR headset in Q1 2023, according to rumors. Then, a few months later, the device would be on sale. Due to the headset's anticipated price of more than $2,000, 2023 shipments are not anticipated to surpass 1.5 million units.

According to reports, Apple has already shown the headset to its board. On June 14, 2022, CEO Tim Cook previewed the AR/VR headgear in an interview with state-run media in China. In 2025, Apple might release its second-generation headset at a lower price, which should increase sales.
