Apple has long been rumored to be working on a set of augmented reality glasses, and back in June of 2020, the tech giant actually patented a design for the device. While the company hasn’t announced anything official despite all these years of work, it now appears that the AR headset is about to become a reality, thanks to analysts sifting through Apple’s code.
As Twitter users Rens Verhoeven and Steve Troughton-Smith highlight, references to a “realityOS” can be found hidden in some of Apple’s open-source code through the App Store upload logs recently. Given its name, many have speculated that realityOS will be the operating system Apple’s AR headset will run on upon release, and its inclusion in the new code hints at the device possibly arriving soon.
