You no longer need an Apple Vision Pro to view Vision Pro apps, because the visionOS App Store is now available for web browsing, as are the equivalent app stores for iOS, iPadOS, macOS and tvOS.
Head to the Vision Pro app store in your browser (as spotted by 9to5Mac) and you'll be able to browse through categories including business, entertainment, and education. You can also find iPhone and iPad apps and games that will run on the Vision Pro.
You can read our Apple Vision Pro review to get an idea of how much we love mixed reality headsets, and now they're even more attractive, because you don't have to put on the device to see new apps that might interest you.
What's more, it gives people who don't own one of the headphones the opportunity to see the apps available for it. When you spend $3,499 (around £2,750 / AU$5,330) or more on a piece of hardware, you might want to see what you'll be able to do with it before you buy it.
A wider deployment
The experience of browsing through the visionOS App Store is very similar to what you may already know when searching for apps for other devices, and some app lists have simply had an extra Apple Vision tab added.
You can view screenshots, view app descriptions and reviews left by other users, and learn about the data collected by each app. Details of app prices and in-app purchase prices are also displayed.
The launch of the Vision Pro app store on the web may have something to do with the rumored international launch of the headphones. At the moment, you can only buy the device in the US, but that could change in the near future.
There's also been talk that a cheaper version of the Vision Pro could be in the works, although it may not go on sale until 2026. It may not be selling in mass quantities yet, but there's no doubting Apple's commitment to the Vision Pro.
