In addition to the the small number of purpose-built apps, over 1 million iPhone and iPad apps will be compatible.
You may have heard that Apple Vision Pro has an app problem. No Netflix, Spotify, YouTube, Gmail, Instagram…there are some obvious big gaps. But Apple is seeking to counter the “there’s no apps” argument on the eve of the Vision Pro’s launch with a press release touting 600 apps built specifically for the platform.
The App Store on Apple Vision Pro will contain over 600 spatial computing apps when the headset launches on February 2; that number is a tiny fraction of what is available on iPhone, iPad, or Mac, but is expected to grow over time.
Apple highlighted sports apps like PGA TOUR Vision, apps from MLB and NBA, and Red Bull TV. For traditional streaming, Disney+ and Max got shout-outs. Productivity apps like Box, Numerics, Microsoft 365, and Fantastical were highlighted, too. For video meetings, there’s Zoom, Teams, and WebEx.
Games are, of course, expected to be very popular.
