Friends who are familiar with Apple's product release plan know that in addition to the hardware new product launches every spring and autumn.
The June WWDC Global Developers Conference is also very important as Apple's annual software event.
Apple will preview the new versions of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS on WWDC.
Apple engineers will also communicate with developers around the world to better familiarize themselves with the new features of Apple's new system and bring users a better experience.
In addition to the five major systems that everyone is already familiar with, this year's WWDC may have new systems unveiled.
According to MacRumors, developers have recently found references to the new operating system realityOS in the App Store's upload logs and open source code.
realityOS is the operating system that runs on Apple's rumored AR/VR devices.
Judging from the latest exposed information, the software development of Apple's AR devices has entered the real-machine testing stage, which means that Apple's long-rumored AR devices are getting closer and closer to release.
According to the news previously revealed by Apple's exposed brother Guo Mingxi, the development roadmap of Apple's AR devices is currently divided into 3 stages.
They are helmet-type products in 2022, glasses-type products in 2025, and contact lens-type products in 2030-2040.
At present, it is widely rumored that Apple's first AR device will be a headset, and this product will meet with you at the end of 2022 or the beginning of 2023.
Just as the iPhone / iPad runs iOS / iPadOS, the Mac runs macOS, and the Apple Watch runs watchOS, Apple is also creating a software ecosystem that belongs to the new AR device.
It is expected that the new system of Apple's AR devices will be named rOS, which stands for "real operating system".
In fact, Apple began developing a separate operating system for AR devices many years ago.
Bloomberg, which has always been reliable, exposed the news that Apple is developing an AR/VR system as early as 2017, and the internal code name of the new system is "Oak".
According to Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, similar to the iOS system, Apple will create a new App Store app store on the rOS system, focusing on games, streaming video and other content.
Developers can build AR/VR applications within the new app store through Apple's development framework, bringing users a new world of augmented/virtual reality with rich experiences.
In terms of hardware, Apple's first AR device is expected to feature a two-chip M1 chip design that provides Mac-level computing power and brings users an innovative experience through seamless switching between AR and VR modes.
The integration of software and hardware is the magic weapon that Apple products can sweep the world, and it is also the biggest advantage of Apple products at present.
Apple brings a better user experience through exclusive software systems and hardware products, and at the same time, the major systems will also build a software ecology that users cannot leave.
It is expected that the rOS system will meet with you at this year's WWDC as early as possible, and Apple's sixth largest system platform will also become the key to whether the new AR device can bring a better experience to users.
Guo Mingxi has said that Apple is currently highly invested in the research and development of AR products, which will also be the next key technology to redefine the human-computer interface of electronic products. Let's wait and see.
