In addition to the iPhone and Mac familiar to the public, Apple may expand a new system platform to bring a different product lineup, the biggest possibility is AR/VR helmet! From Apple's code content, start to find traces of "mysterious OS system", or will be used as an AR/VR headset future operating system.
Developers Rens Verhoeven and Steve Troughton-Smith pointed out in a Tweet post that from Apple's DYLD database and App Store logs, as well as GitHub's database, it was surprising that the mysterious new system called "realityOS" is a platform that Apple has not yet made public. From the naming of the outside world, it is regarded as an important platform for developing AR/VR applications. "realityOS" was first reported by foreign media in 2017, when the development code name was called "rOS", and it was not until this time that the full name was first seen.
Apple has repeatedly emphasized the ambition to enter the AR/VR field, to compete with Meta, Microsoft and other companies in the meta-universe, most of the rumors claim that the first AR helmet will be released this year, Tianfeng Securities analyst Guo Mingqi has predicted that computing power will be a major strength of Apple, the helmet will have the same performance as the M1 Mac, significantly ahead of competitors. At the same time, the development of a lighter second generation is already underway, and it is expected to replace the iPhone within 10 years.
Foreign media claimed that consumers may have to wait until 2023 to actually start ar helmets, and Apple plans to take the lead in making it public at the WWDC developer conference in June, but due to hardware challenges, it will not be listed immediately.
