Apple WWDC 2023: Will xrOS Arrive at the Event?
According to Tech Radar's latest report, the new xrOS could arrive at the WWDC 2023 event.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs delivers the keynote address at the 2004 Worldwide Developers Conference June 28, 2004 in San Francisco, California. Jobs announced the 2005 release of OSX Tiger and a new line of flat panel cinema displays including the first 30-inch model designed for the personal computer.
If this is true, then the new mixed-reality operating system could be introduced around June 5 or June 9.
However, rumors stated that Apple might be introducing an xrOS developer kit instead of the software's final version.
Apple will allegedly debut this new software together with its most-awaited Apple AR/VR headset.
In 2022, Mark Gurman claimed that the xrOS was originally called "realityOS."
Apple allegedly decided to use the name xrOS, which stands for "extended reality" operating system, since the gadget maker wants to cover both virtual and augmented reality.
xrOS Features, Other Details
Toms's Guide reported that the upcoming xrOS could have an interface similar to iOS.
Gurman claimed that this new mixed-reality operating system will have a main interface that is completely identical to iPhone and iPad.
This means that the new AR/VR operating system could have mixed-reality versions of Safari, Calendar, Maps, Messaging, Music, and other iPhone apps.
The alleged iOS-like interface of the xrOS will greatly help users since consumers are already familiar with the iPhone operating system.
Meanwhile, the xrOS platform is expected to take advantage of the Apple AR/VR headset's unique hardware.
These include cameras, sensors, chipsets, etc. You can click this link to learn more about the new xrOS.
