Parker notes that the trademark holder is a company that doesn’t exist called “Realityo Systems LLC.” which Apple holds on to in order to secure the names. Parker notes that the corporation address is the same as Apple’s former shell companies that were used to hold onto macOS California names ahead of every launch.
Another trademark filing was initiated on the USPTO website the same day with the deadline of June 9, 2022. Parker suggests that it is typical for Apple to file trademarks for products a day or two following announcements.
Earlier this year, it was spotted by developer Steve Troughton-Smith that a code in the App Store upload logs features the text “REALITYOS” which confirms that a new operating system is in the works at Apple Park and to feature an App Store.
Another report suggests that Apple’s VR headset could use Memojis for FaceTime and SharePlay capabilities that the software will run.

The price of the product would reach $2,000-$3,000.
Finally, Gurman reported that the headset was set to launch this year but due to development challenges in overheating, cameras, and software, the product will be delayed until 2023 ”“ Although a reveal could be next week.
