Apple Vision Pro App Store Launches

[MacRumors]

Ahead of the Vision Pro launch that's coming on February 2, Apple has officially debuted the Vision Pro App Store. With the App Store live for the device, apps on the iOS App Store will soon list Vision Pro compatibility.

Developers are now able to release apps for the Vision Pro and have those apps appear in the Vision Pro App Store. Consumers don't yet have access to the Vision Pro headset, but reviewers who have the device on hand will be able to try out third-party apps created for the headset.

The visionOS App Store will house both apps designed specifically to take advantage of the capabilities of the Vision Pro as well as iOS apps that are able to run on the device in a 2D mode. Existing apps are able to be ported to the Vision Pro with no action needed on the part of the developer, which means that most apps should be available in some capacity. Developers can choose to opt out of having their apps appear, however.

Apple is meeting with select members of the media starting today to provide review units. Reviews are expected to go live at the end of January, so reviewers should have ample time to test out apps.

Pre-orders for the Vision Pro will begin this Friday at 5:00 a.m. Pacific Time, and it is likely that available units will sell out quickly. The headset is set to launch on Friday, February 2, two weeks after when pre-orders happen.

Now Apple can claim they have 5 6 app stores!

So just like iPhone and iPad apps on the Mac, this will do absolutely no good and have no effect because every developer will opt out.

Which is exactly how your living room needs to be furnished to make good use of the headset.

I don’t care where is beta 4

I want to criticize this product so much but Apple’s most successful products were always insults early on. I’ll reserve judgement for now.

It’s interesting that for all the complaining we all (myself included) do about a lot of Apple’s decisions, they seem to be getting the benefit of the doubt solely based on past success. Pretty good image the company has managed to maintain. Contrast that with Microsoft, or god help you, Google.

That's a good sign, cannot wait to see the rollout in early February.

 

[Berti10]

Oh, it is because Europes Digital Markets Act why it only launches in US/Kanada and UK. *mind blown*

Siri is available on the Vision Pro isn’t it? It’s not just about eye movement and finger movement is it?

Don't believe a single review for the first 2 weeks until "real" non-apple bought people have reviewed this.

 

[erikkfi]

I'm very excited to see what this product will look like in three or four years.

Better now than later when everyone will do it, after having experienced Spatial Computing on the Vision Pro. There will be an unprecedented flood of MacBooks on the used market.

The best thing is, it won’t have to refer you to your iPhone to show web results!

 

[CharlesShaw]

At that point, I’ll probably stop paying attention until the storm settles. Until then, the trickle of news is a welcome distraction.

With the media event did they also say what the memory sizes will be? That would be great.

I assume you meant storage sizes... It starts at 256GB, and rumored to have 512GB and 1TB models as well.

If you meant memory, rumor is 16GB of RAM.

Curious how much an unopened VP headset would fetch if left alone for 15 years? If an unopened original iPhone sells for 150-200K then imagine this.

I have to say, FFmpeg Command Generator has the potential to become the killer app for the Vision Pro.

 

[Nathan666]

Take it easy.

No need to be rude.

Seems people are really getting anxious about this product's success… or lack of…

Why are people coming here just to critizices?
