bridgeOS is an operating system created and developed by Apple Inc. for use exclusively with its hardware.[1] bridgeOS is powered by the T-Series of Apple silicon[2] and operates the OLED touchscreen strip called the "Touch Bar"[3] as well as multiple other functions, including managing the encrypted data in their Secure Enclave and acting as a gatekeeper and video codec to the device's cameras.[1] bridgeOS is a heavily modified version of Apple's watchOS.[1]
