These dedicated apps are accessible through the visionOS App Store, with Apple highlighting that over 600 apps have been available since the headset’s launch just 12 days ago. The rapid expansion of the app library underscores the strong developer support for the Vision Pro.
While major platforms like Netflix, YouTube, and Spotify initially refrained from developing dedicated apps, users could access these services through the Safari browser. However, YouTube has since changed its stance, revealing that an Apple Vision Pro app is now “on the roadmap.” The shift in strategy may be attributed to the headset’s evident success, prompting YouTube to join the growing list of dedicated applications for the platform.
Stay tuned for further developments as the Apple Vision Pro establishes itself as a prominent player in the augmented reality landscape.
