Judging from the many job postings that have been made over the past few months, it's clear that Apple is busy building its own metaverse.

Apple has long been rumored to be developing a mixed-reality headset to rival the Oculus Quest Pro and HoloLens 2. Now, Bloomberg reports that the company is also working on creating a hub for augmented and virtual reality worlds, to be created alongside the device.
The company’s internal Technology Development Group (TDG) has been steadily posting suspicious job openings. They’re looking for software developers well-versed in augmented and virtual environments, and engineers who can work on VR/AR-focused development tools.
One job listing even calls for developing a “3D mixed-reality world,” which sounds a lot like the metaverse, though it’s unlikely Apple will ever call it that. Bloomberg suggests these job listings are part of the operating system behind Apple’s reportedly upcoming mixed-reality headset, known internally as RealityOS.
