As $Apple(AAPL.US)$ 's first mixed-reality headset runs behind schedule, here's a look at what the company could name the product.
A few days ago, Bloomberg reported that Apple is considering pushing back the debut of its AR/VR headset by at least a few months until the end of 2022, or even by 2023. There was a rumor that Apple faces challenges with overheating, camera, and software.

Even the debut of the headset is still a while, people start to be curious about what Apple will call its first virtual and augmented reality headset. The names of future Apple devices always the company's most closely guarded secrets, while Bloomberg's tech journalist Mark Gurman gives out some possibilities.
Apple Vision: Gurman thinks Apple Vision could be the most realistic name for the headset. The vision name sounds futuristic, doesn't reference any particular technology or feature, has an optimistic vibe, and doesn't box the product into anything other than being a new visual medium.
Apple Reality: Gurman's initial guess of the headset. Virtual and augmented reality are the core technologies used in the headset, and Reality alludes to the likely name of the iOS operating system destined for the device.
Apple Sight/iSight: The first thing Gurman think of with the name Apple Sight is the iSight Apple video chat camera from 15 years ago. Apple has moved away from using 'i' in new products, so just Apple Sight is a possibility.
Apple Lens: This one may be too close to $Microsoft(MSFT.US)$'s HoloLens and isn't exactly true to the product. While Apple's first headset will allow for interchangeable prescription lenses, users will actually be looking at super-high-resolution displays.
Apple Goggles: This name is unlikely because goggles are often thought of in the context of swimming or protection.
Apple AR, Apple VR, Apple XR, Apple MR or Apple SR: Gurman thinks Apple naming its headset after the specific technology being used is unlikely.
Which name do you think has the highest possibility?
