The number of apps for Vision Pro has increased from 150 to over 600, in addition to the existing 1 million apps already compatible with iOS and iPadOS. This move comes in light of Apple’s compliance with the EU’s Digital Markets Act, which has garnered criticism from companies like Spotify, Epic Games, and Microsoft. Despite concerns raised by major companies such as Netflix and YouTube over the device’s limited reach and technology, Apple is optimistic about developer interest in its new AR/VR theme with the launch of Vision Pro’s diverse software catalog, including support from streaming services like Disney+, ESPN, and Amazon Prime Video. The announcement also highlighted notable Vision Pro titles, including the NBA app, PGA Tour Vision app, and games from Apple Arcade.
