Apple RealityOS

According to the real Bloomberg report, the OS is based on iOS. The report referenced the rOS in 2017. Apple prefers to use the OS shorthand for different OSs such as iOS, watchOS, tvOS, iPadOS, and macOS. Geoff Stahl was an Apple veteran who belonged to one of the directors. However, after a few months, analyst Ming-chi Kuo claimed that the first AR headset of Apple is going to arrive later this year. Like, M1 Mac, it comes with a similar level of computing power.

Kuo recommends that the headset is going to be a standalone platform. Apple RealityOS may be a codename that has been used by Apple for the last five years. But according to the Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, the codename is “Oak” for the operating system. However, as per the continued references, you get to know that it is actually a project which is key to its headset.

Apple RealityOS Report from Bloomberg:

As per the information from Bloomberg, the Apple headset might not be available in the market until 2023. Apple has decided that they are going to reveal the news at this year’s Worldwide Developers Conference, known as WWDC.

However, it might happen that Apple is willing to get the software development kits for realityOS before its debut. It was 2017 when we got to know from Bloomberg that Apple has been working on a new operating system ‘rOS’ or ‘realityOS’.
