Apple Vision Pro Update Introduces AI-Driven Tools Amid Market Viability Concerns
February 21, 2025
The introduction of Guest Mode will simplify sharing the headset by allowing users to manage guest access through their iPhone, enhancing the overall experience.
The new Spatial Gallery app will showcase 3D photos and videos captured with the iPhone, indicating Apple's commitment to making 3D content more accessible.
The Writing Tools feature will integrate OpenAI's ChatGPT to enhance functionality, although major updates to Siri are not expected due to engineering delays.
The Vision Pro has faced challenges in the market, primarily due to its high price point of $3,500, which Apple CEO Tim Cook noted appeals mostly to early adopters.
Improvements to the Guest User feature will further enhance the sharing of apps and experiences on the headset.
While the updates are a positive step, many users still feel that the Vision Pro lacks essential features to compete effectively with other headsets, particularly in AI and immersive content.
A new iPhone app will enhance user experience by allowing remote app downloads, notification syncing, and headset settings management, addressing previous limitations.
Apple's Vision Pro mixed reality headset is receiving a significant update with the introduction of VisionOS 2.4, despite ongoing questions about its commercial viability.
This update brings Apple Intelligence to the headset, introducing AI-driven tools for text generation, message summaries, and image creation, although it currently lacks advanced features like Visual Intelligence and a revamped Siri.
The VisionOS 2.4 update is set to be available in a developer beta soon, with a full rollout planned for April 2025.
Currently, Apple Intelligence supports only US English, with plans to expand language options in the future.
The absence of Visual Intelligence is a notable drawback, as this update does not include camera-enabled AI capabilities that competitors like Google's Android XR are integrating.
