visionOS 2

Vision Pro has been written off by many as a flop, and a recent report saying new hardware is “in flux” doesn’t help that narrative. But here’s why Apple’s approach to Vision Pro 2 hardware may not be such bad news after all.

The newest Apple beta releases have arrived. Developers can now install beta 4 of visionOS 2.4, watchOS 11.4, tvOS 18.4, and more.

Update 4:20 p.m. ET: Public betas are now also available for watchOS, tvOS, and HomePod updates.

Apple has just released its latest beta software updates. Developer beta 3 is now available for tvOS 18.4, visionOS 2.4, HomePod 18.4, and more.

Gaming on Vision Pro isn’t yet the device’s strong suit, but one recent launch should start to change that. Gamers will now find a massive expansion of new games available—more than 2,000 total—thanks to NVIDIA GeForce NOW coming to visionOS.

Apple has just launched its next software updates for its full lineup of platforms. Included among those updates is tvOS 18.3, HomePod 18.3, and visionOS 2.3. Here’s what to expect.

Apple has just released new beta software for Mac and Vision Pro. macOS Sequoia 15.3 and visionOS 2.3 beta 3 are rolling out now for users with a developer account. Update: macOS 15.3 beta 3 is now available for public beta testers too, just hours after the developer rollout.

I’ve used an iPad Pro as my primary computer for years, despite occasionally testing the waters with the Mac. For various reasons, I’ve always stuck with the iPad, but one new feature Apple just shipped might finally be the thing that gets me back to the Mac in 2025.

It’s new beta time. Apple has released beta 1 for visionOS 2.3, tvOS 18.3, watchOS 11.3, and more, exclusively for developers. Here’s what to expect.

Apple has released RC betas for tvOS 18.2, visionOS 2.2, and watchOS 11.2 ahead of their public launch coming soon. Public betas are here for Apple TV and Apple Watch too. Here’s what to expect from the latest betas.

Apple has released visionOS 2.2 beta 4 for developers. The new software version brings us closer to the expected RC and wide launch soon. Here’s what to expect from the latest beta.

The Vision Pro is getting close to a year of life, and Apple’s next software update has some big changes in store that could alter usage patterns. Mac Virtual Display, one of the best Vision Pro features, is getting three upgrades in visionOS 2.2 that provide a huge boost to spatial computing.

visionOS 2.2 beta 2 is rolling out now for developers. Apple’s forthcoming software update brings a big upgrade to Vision Pro’s Mac Virtual Display feature, which is available now for beta testers.

Fernando and Jeff discuss today’s official availability of the M4 Mac mini, including first impressions and planned use cases. Also, why visionOS 2.2 makes the Apple Vision Pro worth buying if you can get one used for a good price.

Apple has released a trio of new betas today. Developer beta 1 is here for visionOS 2.2, tvOS 18.2, and watchOS 11.2. Here’s what to expect.

Apple has released a new developer beta 6 update for visionOS 2.1. Vision Pro users have now gotten two new betas this week alone, as beta 5 was released this Monday.

Apple is rolling out visionOS 2 for Apple Vision Pro users today. The update includes changes to gestures and navigation, the ability to customize your Home View, a new Bora Bora environment, and more. Here’s a recap of everything new in visionOS 2…

Apple’s Vision Pro has been available for over half a year. Despite an initial wave of excitement and viral buzz around its launch, these days Vision Pro discourse isn’t very positive. The device’s rumored sales struggles are often highlighted, as are its lack of compelling apps and content. It’s too early to call the Vision Pro a success or flop, but to mark six months, I’d like to explore what the device’s success ultimately hinges on. And I think it all comes down to Apple’s own words: ‘spatial computer.’

Apple has released new betas for its array of software platforms. Joining the just-released iOS 18 beta 6 and iOS 18.1 beta 2, developer beta 6 is now available for iPadOS 18, visionOS 2, and more.

Today Apple has released new developer betas for its full lineup of software platforms. Joining the latest betas for macOS Sequoia and iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, Apple has released beta 5 for visionOS 2, tvOS 18, and watchOS 11.

When Apple Vision Pro was first unveiled to the world, Apple repeatedly emphasized it was a ‘spatial computer,’ not a VR headset. Demos showed it doing computer-y things, and the press release claimed “Vision Pro enables users to be even more productive.”

Since getting into users’ hands, it’s become clear that Vision Pro isn’t necessarily the best platform for getting things done. But visionOS 2 aims to change that, with two key features that might just make the Vision Pro into an actually useful computer.

Apple is expected to release public betas any day now for iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia, watchOS 11, and more.

One update that won’t be getting a public beta, though? visionOS 2, as Apple’s beta website confirms that the Vision Pro won’t be part of this summer’s public beta cycle.
