Apple’s Vision Pro could upend how people watch television at home and how they use computers at work, potentially positioning the headset to be a successor to both traditional television and the Mac.
The US$3,500 (S$4,700) headset, which blends three-dimensional digital content with a view of the outside world, landed in the company’s physical US stores on Friday (Feb 2). It enters a market crowded with lower-cost rivals from Meta Platforms, opens new tab, HTC, opens new tab and others that have mostly been confined to the video game market and failed to find a mass audience.
Apple has had mixed results courting developers. Netflix, one of the most popular consumer video apps, said late Friday it is not making a new app for the Vision Pro, though consumers can watch movies and series on the device’s web browser.
YouTube, which could not immediately be reached for comment, said in a Bloomberg report that it is not planning to launch a new app for the device but consumers can instead use the Safari web browser. The music streaming service, Spotify, also has not developed an app for the product’s launch, according to a person familiar with the matter.
