Joining Netflix, YouTube and Spotify won't make dedicated apps for Apple Vision Pro

Google’s YouTube and Spotify Technology SA, the world’s most popular video and music services, are joining Netflix Inc. in steering clear of Apple Inc.’s upcoming mixed-reality headset.

YouTube said in a statement Thursday that it isn’t planning to launch a new app for the Apple Vision Pro, nor will it allow its longstanding iPad application to work on the device — at least, for now.

Who cares? Spotify is an audio company. Why would they care about VR? Youtube you just use through Safari with a proper adblock and sponsorblock for a much better experience.

Netflix and a couple of other streaming services haven't bothered to make proper apps for any other VR headsets either, so at least they're consistent.

Makes sense. Why invest in developing and maintaining an app for a product that only 7 people are going to buy.

If I were on Youtube Premium I would never know about the amazing new app Elon Musk and Johann Rupert have just created that can earn me R300 trillion a week.

The only app that will matter for Apple VR is porn

I mean, look at these images and tell me what they are looking at.

Shuts up all the pundits that said Apple can’t innovate.

It doesn’t need to.

It’s expensive. It’s Apple. Its elevates your self worth. It doesn’t matter it can’t Netflix or YouTube, or it streams at 720p. Apple users ‘don’t care’ .

Let them be!

I was more asking why humanity needs VR goggles.

What benefit do I have vs watching something on a tv/phone/screen?
Now if it something like neuralink I can see a use case.
But swopping a screen for two small screens 2" from my eye, whilst obscuring my peripheral vision and forcing me to wear 300g, not so much.

forcing me to wear 300g, not so much.

I think twice that …
