xrOS system
Lately, developer Steve Troughton-Smith found References to Reality Pro’s xrOS operating system on App Store Connect. This is the platform used by developers to distribute iOS, iPadOS and macOS apps.

It is worth noting that data on xrOS and realityOS (the system’s first name) appeared in Apple’s open source code in March of this year. Recent references on App Store Connect reinforce that mixed reality glasses will be announced soon.
How much will Reality Pro cost?
Rumors have it that Apple plans to offer Reality Pro owners a “state-of-the-art” experience. In this way, by following the standard of the brand, the headset could launch at around US$3,000 (approximately 15,120 BRL in current conversion).
That’s a much higher figure than Meta’s Quest 2 and Quest Pro rivals. In the US, the devices cost between US$349 (R$1,759) and US$999 (R$5,035) respectively.
