xrOS” is a short abbreviation for “Extended Reality Operating System” that powers Apple’s upcoming Reality headset with dozens of features and innovations. The first notion of this tidbit was marked in 2017 as “rOS” stands for “RealityOS” and was also spotted as part of some pre-release iOS 13 builds.
