Bloomberg News<\/em> was first to report<\/a> the \u201creality operating system\u201d branding back in 2017, and references to the name have appeared in Apple\u2019s software<\/a>. <\/p>\n The trademark application hasn\u2019t officially been filed by Apple, but it\u2019s common practice for large companies to apply for trademarks under one-off company names \u2014 like Realityo Systems LLC, in this case \u2014 in the state of Delaware for the sole purpose of maintaining anonymity. <\/p>\n The trademark application is the latest evidence that Apple is on the cusp of announcing its long-rumored headset. It follows the news earlier this month that the company\u2019s board of directors reportedly tried out the wearable device<\/a>, which is common practice ahead of a public launch. In January, Bloomberg News<\/em> reported<\/a> that the headset was originally planned for release in late 2022 after an announcement at the company\u2019s developer conference, but that could be delayed due to development challenges. The headset\u2019s release could now happen in 2023<\/a>, according to Bloomberg.<\/em><\/p>\n The trademarks are also the only ones owned by this company \u201cRealityo Systems LLC.\u201d They were originally filed on December 8, 2021. This was just two months before \u201crealityOS\u201d began showing up in Apple source code.<\/p>\n \u2014 Parker Ortolani (@ParkerOrtolani) May 29, 2022<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n The trademark documentation references \u201cwearable computer hardware\u201d and is said to relate to \u201cdesign and development of computer hardware, software, peripherals, and computer and video games.\u201d The design and functionality of Apple\u2019s headset has been the source<\/a> of much<\/a> speculation<\/a> over the years, but most reports suggest that it\u2019ll be able to offer a combination of virtual reality and augmented reality experiences, immersing you in virtual content as well as layering virtual elements over real world environments. <\/p>\n It\u2019s important to note that the RealityOS trademark hasn\u2019t been applied for by Apple itself, and has instead been registered by a company called \u201cRealityo Systems LLC.\u201d But Ortolani reports that Realityo doesn\u2019t appear to have any public presence, suggesting that it\u2019s a shell company used by the Cupertino-based tech company to hide its involvement. Apple has reportedly taken the same approach in the past, 9to5Mac<\/em> reports<\/a>, using a shell company called \u201cYosemite Research LLC\u201d to register macOS update names like Yosemite, Big Sur, and Monterey. <\/p>\n The kicker? Both Realityo Systems LLC and Yosemite Research LLC are registered at the same address, which heavily implies that Apple is behind them. The RealityOS filings for a trademark and service mark don\u2019t list any examples of the name\u2019s use in public (meaning the product they\u2019re associated with is yet to be released), and they\u2019re also the only two applications associated with Realityo Systems LLC. <\/p>\n The applications have been discovered just days before Apple is due to kick off its annual developer conference next week on June 6th, and are listed with deadlines of June 8th, leading to speculation that we could see the headset announced during Apple\u2019s keynote. But Bloomberg\u2019s <\/em>Mark Gurman notes<\/a> that the timing of the June 8th date is likely a coincidence, and coincides with a key legal deadline that comes six months after a trademark is originally filed. \u201cMaybe we\u2019ll see it [at WWDC],\u201d Gurman tweeted<\/a>, \u201cbut the trademark application isn\u2019t evidence of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
