History
xrOS was registered by Apple as a trademark in New Zealand on 15 May 2023.[1][2][3][4][5]. "xrOS"is meant to stand for "extended reality." Extended reality represents both the augmented and virtual reality functions the headset will support. The name has been confirmed by internal Apple sources and also, Apple has been trademarking the xrOS through a hidden shell company.
Apple internally called the headset software "Reality OS" or "rOS" when it was in development, but as launch approaches, decided to update the public name to the less generic "xrOS" name.
