230 native apps available for Apple Vision Pro at launch, says Gurman
According to Apple expert Mark Gurman, about 230 native visionOS apps are currently ready, including major AR apps from Lowe's and JCrew, as well as the productivity and entertainment apps already announced by Apple. The rest will come from indie studios. The number may increase slightly before the launch of Apple Vision Pro in early February. Major app providers such as Netflix, YouTube and Spotify have already signaled that they will not provide software for Apple Vision Pro. Google and Meta also seem to be avoiding the new platform for now.
Netflix Snubs Apple: No "Spatial App" for Vision Pro
Netflix will not be developing a dedicated app for the Apple Vision Pro, nor will it support the existing iPad app. Users of the headset will have to watch Netflix in the browser instead. This was reported by Mark Gurman of Bloomberg.
Media consumption is one of Apple's biggest selling points for the Vision Pro. Netflix may want to wait and see if Vision Pro is a success before supporting the new platform.
What goes for Apple also goes for its competitor Meta: Although Netflix offers a VR app for Meta Quest, it has not been maintained or updated in years.
