With less than a month to go until theWWDCkeynote , there ’s even more grounds that Apple is design to launch its unexampled mixed - realism headset . According to a secret earmark , the company has seemingly sustain the name of the unexampled gadget ’s operating system : xrOS , with the first two letter standing for “ extended realism . ”
Eagle - eyedParker Ortolani , who works for the Verge , detect that Apple last calendar week apply to the New Zealand Intellectual Property Office for a earmark on a logotype that is simply the Holy Scripture “ xrOS ” in the party ’s proprietary SF Pro typeface . Back in December Bloomberg describe that Apple had switchedfrom realityOS to xrOSas the name for the software system , and this discovery appears to support that claim .

As is coarse with Apple , the earmark program was made under the name of a shell society , which makes spotting these a small more difficult . But veteran Cupertino watcher have learned to bear these kinds of maneuvers , and the shell company used this time , Deep Dive LLC , has been involve in lot of xrOS trademark activity in the yesteryear , asPatently Appledocumented in admirable depth back in December . Interestingly , Patently Apple puts forward the possibility that , rather than switch to xrOS by pick , Apple find oneself that it was too difficult to get the necessary trademarks for realityOS in the U.S.
At any charge per unit , xrOS is arguably a near brand in terms of communicating what Apple intends to achieve with its forthcoming portfolio of product . While realityOS does n’t immobilise the fellowship down to practical , augmented , or mixed reality , carry reality actively emphasizes the aspiration to grow beyond any one vista of the force field . Apple is consider to be planning an intact ecosystem of xrOS product , beginning with one headset but going on to encompass a second and likely cheaper variation , plus a range of related devices . ( One possibility is a set of smart meth , although these are understood to beon holdat the moment . ) The principal downside is that Apple already let go of the iPhone XR , but that telephone set may now be sufficiently aged that few customers will be blur .
