xrOS – what is it? Short for extended reality, Apple’s operating system

By Tim Hardwick, MacRumors

Apple has registered a wordmark for “xrOS” in New Zealand, the first time the company has indirectly revealed both the name of the operating system for its upcoming headset and the official font and styling that accompanies it.

Spotted by Parker Ortolani, the ‌xrOS‌ wordmark registered with the New Zealand Intellectual Property Office shows that Apple will use its San Fransisco typeface in ‌xrOS‌ marketing, just as it does for macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS.
