Apple Announces Streaming Services and Sports Apps Available on Vision Pro at Launch

I think everybody is waiting to see how this product hits before they dedicate resources to making apps for it. I sure as heck wouldn’t invest a minute into making an app for the Vision Pro until I see the reviews and see how they sell. This has an equal potential to be the greatest thing Apple has made since iPhone or the worst thing they made in their history. I imagine that lots of developers are taking a “wait and see” approach.
I suspect trusted developers have been collaborating with Apple for at least a couple years.
With reportedly under a million units being made during 2024 I don't blame developers for taking a wait-and-see approach.
TIKTOK! now have the worlds dumbest people RIGHT IN YOUR FACE
Here's my secret hope. I think Apple is going to use the Super Bowl to really launch the AVP. Note, Apple is the primary sponsor of the Halftime Show.
My hope is that prior to the game, they announce that the Super Bowl itself will be available to view in 3D, using cameras that are attached to the guide wires that sit over the game.
...and since I'll already have my headset.

Whoa... that would be awesome. I can see it. A nice tribute to the Mac being introduced in 1984.
Hope it happens!
I wonder what it will look like cuz what I learned from researching "why does everything look so blurry in VR" for my Quest 3, content needs to be 8K or even 12K to look crispy sharp in VR.
The worst is most of the 360 VR content on YouTube VR. It looks h o r i b b l e

To be honest, I'm not excited about this product. I don't know. Maybe I've gotten accustomed to the everyday access to technology these days. I'm not trying to ruin the excitement, but I'm just skeptical about products like Vision Pro and the likes. I will just wait and see how it goes when it is released to the public. All I can say is I can both good and bad coming out with this product. Therefore, IT DEPENDS on the individual and how it is used. Just have to wait and see.
gonna ratchet this up from “suspect” to “almost definitively believe” that this has been the case—Apple realizes that iPhone’s big break was the App Store and that they can leapfrog a year in the progression of this device by getting high-quality (and as aforementioned, trusted) third parties on it as soon as possible. I doubt Disney threw together their WWDC presentation with a few months’ notice.
Seemes like a disconnect between the PR and the reality that this is something that 99.99% aren't going to buy.
I wonder if all the consumer entertainment marketing will inspire some people to simply upgrade their old televisions.
You mean like:
Final Cut Pro
Logic Pro
Pages
Numbers
Keynote
Freeform
Safari
Notes
...and thousands of other apps that are already available for Vision OS?
I've had the same sentiment in my head - so many incredible use cases for iPhone and iPad weren't even thought of when they first launched.I wouldn't worry about that. Apple has been collaborating with Stanford University's AR/VR Laboratory for the last 7-8 years.
I remember the reactions here when iPod and iPhone were launched. I'm seeing the same thing today.
Deja vu all over again.
I am a big fan of the association of volleyball professionals.
Same here. I dialed it down a little because, sadly, many people here get upset with others acting in a positive manner.
That is way to miss out, there is always a risk/reward just like the first iPhone App store.
Yup, and it makes total sense for them to do so ever since having their first half-time show at the SB just last yearHere's my secret hope. I think Apple is going to use the Super Bowl to really launch the AVP. Note, Apple is the primary sponsor of the Halftime Show.

Not only that, but I'm sure that they're going to have quite the extravagant Vision Pro commercial that will roll amongst the slew of other crazy commercials that always run during it
Netflix are really irritating when it comes to Apple.
I dont know what their problem is... but they refuse to integrate with the AppleTV app's up next feature when literally all the other streaming platforms with apps on the platform do.
It isolates their content and its annoying - but they dont seem to care - so no surprise they are one of the first for the Vision Pro.
Holy smokes!
You do realize that spending $2,495 back in 1984 would be the same as spending $7,500 today? How in the world did that make any sense back then ?!?!?
I always hate it when people begin a sentence with "You do realize..." - it's so condescending. Yet I see that a lot here.
Sorry, I just had to give it a try to see how it felt slinging it.
imagine a text line like:
... and you'll see why 2024 won't be like 2024
That would be amazing and the right introduction and it would explain why the marketing is so sparse now - interesting times
