There have been many rumors surrounding Apple’s mixed reality glasses for a long time. Significant information was shared about the Apple AR/VR glasses, which will be unveiled at the WWDC 2023 event on June 5th, but it was later determined to be fake.

The leaked information suggests that the operating system of Apple’s mixed reality glasses will be called xrOS, and the device will feature a processor named X1. According to the recent claims, benchmark scores of the Apple X1 processor have been leaked.
Apple’s mixed reality headset, referred to as “Reality,” were spotted in a Geekbench list dated June 1st. According to the shared list, the Apple AR/VR headset received a score of 141,585 and will host a 12-core processor. It is stated that the processor consists of 8 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores. Additionally, the processor is said to have a clock speed of 3.68 GHz.
However, after the emergence of the performance test results, Geekbench marked the list as incorrect. Therefore, it turned out that all of this information was incorrect. After the short-lived excitement, it seems that we will have to wait for the WWDC 2023 event to get a full glimpse of the mixed reality headset.
On the other hand, Apple has filed a trademark application for “xrProOS.” Immersive Health Solutions, which is presumed to be Apple’s shell company, has also applied for trademarks such as “realityproOS” as well as “realOS,” “Reality One,” “Reality Pro,” and “Reality Processor” in other countries.
Apple’s AR/VR headset is expected to be priced at around $3,000 when they are released to customers. At the event on June 5th, we will have the opportunity to see Apple’s new operating system, including iOS 17, and devices. Many celebrities have already been invited to this event.
