It seemed strange that Apple does not tolerate any of its compatible applications in Visionos 2, but not making native to Visionos 26, there is not enough unbearable. Vision Pro is the first spatial computing platform for the platform, and with it the deployment of the software and the carrier, which is the native to the 3D platform of the mixed reality. At least some, if not all, its compatible applications for local ones, is an compatible application that works on the Apple Vision Pro in its unmodified 2D iPad or the iPhone form.Apple boasted how easy the developers will use their systems so that the applications become their own. The toolbar, menu and buttons will leave their 2D prison and swim around the content.
Sorry Apple, it seems, cannot follow his own advice. Apple announced the Apple Vision Pro during the WWDC 2023 and WWDC 2025, which has just completed, and the list of compatible applications did not budge.
Here is a list of applications that Apple does, which is currently not native on the platform:
- Book
- Calendar
- the number
- Pages
- Podcasts
- reminders
- combinations
- drains
- memos
Funny, the number of compatible applications has actually increased with Apple Apported Proprouge Apploured 202. It means that these applications are now part of the list of compatible Apple applications.
Apple Vision Pro Problem staff, but I am a big fan of Apple Vision Pro. I spend a considerable time every week, working or having fun in the 3D space.
For me, this is a rather convincing platform with an endless canvas, where you can simply open the windows, and now spatial widgets and place them everywhere.
Apple Vision Pro needs applications, and Apple should provide a template
New Visionos 26 is an excellent update that improves how to use the platform. There are more options for joint work, constantly placed objects that are experiencing restart, and new game capabilities thanks to the support of the PSVR2 controller.
However, it seems that the third year of this platform that exists in the public (June 2023 was disclosure, February 2024), without touching this list of applications. Even if it were one or two, it would at least feel that progress has been reached, but zero sends a wild message.
What does it say to the developers, can the richest company in the world with almost vague resources, cannot free time for a new platform?
there was a small movement in the space for these applications, but only register. Apple includes spatial widgets for the calendar, watches, news, podcasts, reminders and stocks.
there is even a weather widget, despite the fact that the application does not even exist on the platform.
Apple should give an example and make the best of the native applications
perhaps the introduction of Apple these widgets is considered as their contribution to the creation of native applications. They are good intermediate, I will give them this, but it still seems strange.
Apple should show the developers how they are approaching the Spatial Podcast or Weather application. They usually used their own API as a chance to demonstrate, which is possible and encourage developers to follow the standard.
I will be fairly and I will say that this is a beta 1 Visionos 26. Any number of things can change to official output in the fall. And there is always a chance that some new native applications can be presented throughout the year.
we hope that Apple will make some movement in this space. If we get to the WWDC 2026, and nothing has changed, I am going to doubt Apple's commitment to my platform.
