Apple's highly anticipated mixed reality headset, the Vision Pro, is set to launch in the United States on February 2nd, with pre-orders starting on January 19th at a base price of $3499. Apple has revealed that HBO's streaming service, Max, will be the first to offer support for the Vision Pro headset, featuring content from CNN, DC Universe, Discovery Channel, Food Network, HGTV, TBS, TLC, TNT, and more.
Entertainment Options: In addition to Max, Apple has confirmed that Apple TV+ and Disney+ will also be among the inaugural entertainment options available for Vision Pro users. Max will provide native support for the VisionOS system, harnessing the full immersive capabilities of the Vision Pro headset.
Other Streaming Services: While additional streaming services may become available for Vision Pro after its release, not all of them will have native support for VisionOS. Disney+ CEO Bob Iger had previously pledged first-day support for Vision Pro, promising a "deeply personal experience." Bloomberg's Mark Gurman notes that Netflix will offer its iPadOS app on VisionOS but without specific modifications at least initially. Apple has indicated that Vision Pro boasts compatibility with over a million existing iOS and iPadOS apps, with many not specifically optimized for Vision Pro, and reports suggest that around 50% remain unoptimized.
Conclusion: The debut of Apple's Vision Pro AR headset marks a significant step forward in the immersive technology landscape. With support from prominent streaming services like HBO Max, Apple TV+, and Disney+, the Vision Pro aims to redefine entertainment experiences, leveraging its VisionOS system and promising users a truly personalized and immersive journey. As the headset hits the market, users can expect a growing ecosystem of compatible apps and services to enhance their mixed-reality adventures.
