The Future of Personal Technology: Introducing Apple Vision Pro
Apple Vision Pro is the latest revolution in personal technology that could redefine the concept of smartphones as we know them today. By combining virtual and augmented reality in a well-designed and powerful device, Apple is showcasing how we will work and consume content in the future. As pre-orders for the flagship product have begun, Apple has also released a list of all the applications that will be available on the Vision Pro headset.
Unlike the leading AR headsets in the market, such as Meta Quest 3, Apple Vision Pro boasts an advanced set of sensors that eliminate the need for traditional VR controllers and put the control directly in your hands (literally). As a result, Apple had to create a brand-new platform, called visionOS, from scratch, which works seamlessly with hand gestures and eye-tracking sensors. During the WWDC event last summer, Apple showcased several first-party applications specifically tailored for the Vision Pro headset.
Will users of Apple Vision Pro have anything to do during the early stages of the visionOS platform? Will it be as simple as the first-generation iPhone from 2007?
Compatible Applications with Apple Vision Pro
The good news is that Apple Vision Pro is taking a different approach than the first iPhone in terms of market strategy. In today’s world, where you have applications for TVs, smartwatches, and even cars, Apple has taken the time to refine some of its popular existing applications for the immersive visionOS world.
This means that Vision Pro users will definitely have the opportunity to use applications such as Apple TV+, Freeform, Apple Music, Safari, Mindfulness, Notes, and Messages right from the start.
Most importantly, Apple Vision Pro will have an App Store from the very beginning, a luxury that the original iPhone in 2007 did not possess. In addition to hosting dedicated applications for the platform, the visionOS App Store will also allow users to download most iPad applications that can be used without any major issues.
Apple has collaborated with external application developers to provide plenty of downloadable applications during the early stages of the visionOS platform. However, some of the biggest streaming platforms and game developers have decided to steer clear of Apple’s latest product, including Google and Meta.
No YouTube and Netflix
For an expensive AR headset priced at $3499, Apple Vision Pro will not have popular applications such as YouTube, Netflix, and Spotify. Netflix has chosen not to create a dedicated application for visionOS, despite having an application on the iPad. The same goes for YouTube and Spotify. Even Meta has not released its popular social media applications, such as Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, on the visionOS platform.
So, if you are purchasing Vision Pro today, the only way to access YouTube, Netflix, and Spotify is through the built-in Safari browser to use the web versions of these services.

The Apple Arcade subscription will also provide over 250 games on the visionOS platform from the very beginning. Additionally, Vision Pro users will also be able to watch 3D movies through Apple TV+ and Disney Plus.
In the future, 3D versions of upcoming movies will be released first on the visionOS platform, followed by their 2D counterparts.
