Deep dives

Vision Pro needs better support from streaming services

One of the challenges that Vision Pro faces is the lack of native support from streaming services like Netflix and YouTube. While both services can be accessed through the Safari browser on Vision Pro, the absence of dedicated apps raises questions about the platform's appeal. Apple's assumption that everyone would want to be on Vision Pro may have led to a certain level of arrogance. This highlights the need for Apple to actively engage with partners and convince them of the value of being on Vision Pro.
