Apple's Vision Pro Faces App Shortage and Compatibility Issues

Despite challenges, the upcoming wider launch of the headset is expected to boost the VR and AR market.

  • Apple's new Vision Pro headset is facing challenges with a lack of native apps, with only around 150 available for download on the Apple Vision Pro Store.
  • Major app developers like Netflix and Google have expressed reluctance to develop for the new platform, with no plans for a YouTube or Netflix app for the Vision Pro.
  • The Vision Pro headset is not compatible with glasses, but Apple has partnered with Zeiss to create optical inserts for vision correction, which is an added cost on top of the headset's price.
  • Apple's Vision Pro headset is expected to boost the fortunes of other VR and AR headsets, including Meta's line of Quest headsets, due to renewed interest in the technology.
  • The Vision Pro headset is expected to launch more widely in a few days, and Apple is encouraging potential buyers to make an appointment at an Apple Store to check out the device.
