We have long known that Apple is seriously working on two AR / VR headsets, but we don’t know exactly how long it will take before I even present the first one. Lately, the rumors surrounding the project have reignited, with the hypothesis of a launch initially scheduled for 2022 but which could be postponed to next year, and the advances regarding the technical characteristics of the device and also its price, which is not exactly cheap. .

But beyond the rumor nebula there is more. Apple itself, over time, has unwittingly given us various clues that it really has an AR / VR headset in the pipeline.. In fact, in Cupertino they are already busy implementing the brand new operating system dedicated to this special category of devicesand new details in this sense come to us from code open source source of some software developed by Apple.


We are talking about “realityOS“, previously (the first appearances date back to 2017) emerged in other code strings as” rOS “, and known internally by the company with the code name” Oak “. It must be said that the code in question, present on GitHub, it may have been altered by third parties, and therefore it is advisable to keep all the necessary precautions: nevertheless it seems that the last modification was made by Apple.

On the other hand, code or non-code, it is natural to think that Apple is planning to launch a new type of product associated with a dedicated operating system, continuing what has been done with iOS, iPadOS and tvOS. According to what was reported by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, always very informed about the affairs of Cupertino, the first viewer of the bitten apple would be designed above all for games, streaming of video content and video conferences. If you are curious to know in detail all the voices that revolve around the project, nothing could be easier: there is our special.

The fact that realityOS is starting to be implemented as a target within the code tells us that work is progressing, but still not a strong enough indication to be able to determine if the launch is really imminent or if it will be 2023 the year. just to see the Virtual Reality according to Apple.
