YouTube, Spotify, and Netflix have decided against creating dedicated applications for the imminent Apple Vision Pro headset. As a result, users seeking to access content from these platforms will need to utilize web browsers. This decision has been confirmed by official statements, indicating a lack of collaboration with Apple’s new product.
Streaming Giants Absent on New Platform
While the Apple Vision Pro is set to revolutionize user interaction through eye, hand, and voice-based controls, the unavailability of dedicated apps from these content providers is a notable omission. Despite this, over a million apps compatible with iOS and iPadOS are available for the headset, ensuring a breadth of content and applications for users.
Uncertain Future Integration
Although the current stance of these streaming services suggests no immediate plans to support the Vision Pro, their existing apps could potentially be adapted for compatibility in the future. However, no indications have surfaced to suggest that this integration is on the horizon.
Apple is gearing up for the release of Vision Pro with pre-orders already available, despite its premium price tag of $3,499. To familiarize customers with the new technology, Apple store employees are being trained to provide comprehensive demonstrations that could extend up to 25 minutes.
