Apple’s code snippets continue to reference “realityOS,” which could be related to the upcoming Apple AR/VR device.
The reference to realityOS has been in Apple’s code for months, and a trademark has even been filed for it. The name appears to be a reference to the operating system that will be used for Apple’s VR devices.
Tipster Nick Chan has found other references to realityOS, this time in Apple’s open-source GitHub repository. Apple’s latest OSS content hides a lot of realityOS references.
As with previous realityOS leaks, this seems to confirm that Apple is working on a new autonomous operating system with unique emulator tools.
Steve Moser of MacRumors shared that “PLATFORM_WOLF” is the codename for Apple’s realityOS. This code is also the latest addition.
A report in December 2022 suggested that Apple may have moved to call the operating system “xrOS”. But there is no evidence that the name has changed, or that the code and marketing terminology may be different.
Apple’s new AR/VR device is expected to be released during the WWDC23 developer conference in June and is expected to cost up to $3,000 (currently about RMB 20,640) and be launched in the first generation primarily for developers.
