Here Are All the Apps Pre-Installed on the Apple Vision Pro

[MacRumors]

The Vision Pro comes with a number of Apple apps that are also available on the iPhone and the iPad. We've seen some of the apps over the past few months in tidbits of information that Apple has provided, but the Vision Pro technical specifications that went live today alongside pre-orders list every app that the device comes with.

Pre-installed apps optimized for Vision Pro:

• App Store
• Encounter Dinosaurs
• Files
• Freeform
• Keynote
• Mail
• Messages
• Mindfulness
• Music
• Notes
• Photos
• Safari
• Settings
• Tips
• TV

Pre-installed apps not optimized for Vision Pro:

• Books
• Calendar
• Home
• Maps
• News
• Podcasts
• Reminders
• Shortcuts
• Stocks
• Voice Memos

Curiously, while there is a Keynote app that's pre-installed, Apple does not list the other iWork apps like Pages and Numbers. Find My is not on Apple's list, nor are the Health, Clock, Contacts, and Weather apps. FaceTime is not on the list, but the fine print confirms that there is indeed a FaceTime app and also a Capture app for taking video and photos on the device.

There may be some Apple apps that are not pre-installed but able to be downloaded from the App Store after launch, and there will be a number of third-party apps designed for the Vision Pro.

We'll be sharing a list of Vision Pro apps closer to when the headset debuts, and it is also worth noting that many iOS apps will run on the device automatically unless developers opt out.

I think the settings app will be the biggest draw

Call me a geek but Maps for Vision Pro, whenever it happens, sounds awesome.

in my mind Pages/Numbers are data input primarily, so imho not the best apps for VPro. Keynote on the other hand, while requiring content input, it also has a presentation mode ...

that's a good point, spatial street view ...

Odd they are not offer all of their OWN app optimized for Vision OS? Hopefully it's in the pipeline.

 

[klasma]

That’s a lot of 3D apps!

And, as expected, no calculator app.

 

[Ghost31]

Even though it’s not optimized, I think it’s cool that you can read Apple books on here. I wonder what it’s like to read books in the Apple vision. Just laying down with my headset, reading a book on the ceiling.

Yep, and hover over the 3D map in God Mode? Leave a virtual globe on the side table?

Google Earth would be nice.

I use a tablet on a mechanical arm above the bed, and a bluetooth remote to scroll or flip pages. Much more comfortable I think.

When it launches in Europe, it will need to have a third party App Store

 

[Analog Kid]

Google Earth would probably be nice.

In 2047, or whenever they get around to doing it... They've already shown their intent with YouTube.

No Weather, no Calculator. Maybe by Vision 5

 

[Chuckeee]

Surprised Find My is not there. I thought one of the major upgrades for AirTags ver 2 (delayed but still planned) was to be visual cues of AirTag locations shown synthetically on the AVP

Apple’s VR is dead on arrival.

This is a result of Apple’s poor relationship with app developers and competitors.

As we have now seen all the major companies Apple desperately needs are not only not developing for Vision Pro but are yanking their iPad versions from being compatible too.

I suspect their behaviour with the 27% third party app store fee this week has been the straw that broke the camels back.

Downvote me all you want but these are facts… they have no interest at all supporting Apple’s entry into another new category and for once Apple needs them more than they need Apple.

Apple are screwed.
Vision Pro is dead on arrival.
Save this post and look at it again in two years.

I was thinking the same thing!

I came here for this comment 🥰

 

[Kylo83]

just like the iPad, seems like a big iOS device

Facts? Based on what? Pulling things out of the air. It’s not surprising that developers aren’t rushing to develop for it with the reported sales forecasts but it doesn’t mean it will fail. When consumers start demanding it the developers will bring their apps. The first iPad barely did anything and was absolutely useless and hss survived fine.

… presentatiom mode, ok. But to whom is an AVP user presenting? 😊

 

[Analog Kid]

Was gonna just ignore it, but then you issued an invitation...

Yeah, but you can't easily lie on your side to be in a more comfortable position.

Two years? I will be able to look at it in 6 months and laugh at your nonsense.

Since the apps are round, does that means other stuff will have round apps soon?
