Reports of
Apple‘s long-awaited mixed-reality headsets have been doing the rounds.
If reports are to be believed, the tech giant has filed patents for its long-rumoured MR/AR headsets through a shell company.
According to a
Bloomberg report, the product will have ‘Reality’ in its name for the upcoming headsets. There have been three separate patent fillings for Reality One, Reality Pro and Reality Processor. All filings mention “virtual and augmented reality headsets, goggles, glasses, and smartglasses,” the report said.
The report also stated that an older patent application with ‘realityOS’ was also filed which may be the new headset’s operating system.
In addition to the US, ‘Reality’ patent filings were registered across Canada, the EU, Australia, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Costa Rica, Uruguay and the UK. However, the patent applications were submitted by a company called Immersive Health Solutions, LLC, not Apple, as per the US Trademark and Patent Office.

The reports got a lot of fans excited for the upcoming Apple Event, but it was understood that the iPhone-maker will not announce its mixed reality headset next week at the Far Out event on September 7. Furthermore,

Satellite Connectivity For iPhones
