The name for Apple's upcoming augmented and virtual reality headset operating system has been resurfaced online, offering a clue as to what Apple may have in store.
The two trademark applications were first submitted on December 8, 2021, but were both listed with foreign filing deadlines of June 8, 2022, just two days after Apple. There is a foreign filing deadline of June 9, 2022.
There are several hints that the filing is owned by Apple. The corporate address used by this company is the same one that Apple has used in the past to hold onto macOS California release names.
RealityOS was accidentally referenced by Apple in App Store update logs earlier this year.
Apple is planning to announce a high-end headset for realityOS this year or early next year, according to a report. Apple showed off its mixed reality headset to its board, suggesting that the product is close to completion.
The headset will feature two 4K micro-OLED displays, 15 camera modules, powerful processors equivalent to the M-series chips, eye tracking capabilities, hand gesture support, spatial audio, and other features. The headset is expected to cost around $3,000 when it launches.
The dates of the trademark filings hint that Apple may have more to say about its vision for the future of augmented and virtual reality. For the first time since September, Apple is inviting select members of the press and has invited developers from the App Store to attend a special event at Apple Park on June 6.
