Apple's $3,499 face computer has been kinda quiet lately, but the Vision Pro app drop this week is giving serious main character energy.
Devs are finally cooking with spatial computing, and some of these apps are straight-up unhinged in the best way.
First up, Disney+ brought a full 3D environment that turns your living room into a floating theater above Avengers Tower.
Meanwhile, NBA fans can now watch live games on a virtual courtside seat that makes your couch feel like the real thing.
The productivity side is where things get spicy.
A new app called Spatial Board lets you pin like 20 windows around your room, so you can basically live inside a multitasking fever dream.
Apple Arcade dropped spatial versions of some classics, and indie devs are pushing weird little experiences where you punch floating robots in your actual kitchen.
It's giving Wii Sports energy but make it future.
Here's the catch: most of these apps still feel like tech demos wearing a fancy outfit.
The Vision Pro is heavy, the battery life is mid, and dropping three and a half racks on a headset that mostly vibes is a tough sell for normal people.
This is the iPhone circa 2007 moment — clunky, expensive, and slightly cursed, but you can feel something big brewing underneath.
Early adopters are basically paying to beta test the future. **The Verdict** If you already own a Vision Pro, these apps make it feel way less like a paperweight and way more like a glimpse of what's next.
If you don't own one, don't sweat it yet — wait a couple generations and let the price and the apps catch up.
Final Thoughts
The hype is real, but so is the $3,499 receipt.
