There's been a lot of talk this week about how many apps are available within Apple Vision Pro, and it looks like third-party developers are taking on the challenge of filling any notable gaps in the app selection.
According to MacRumors, developer Christian Selig has released a dedicated YouTube app for Vision Pro, called Juno for YouTube. Notably, it is the only YouTube client on the headphones, as Google has not released an official app.
Costing $4.99, the app comes with a number of useful features, including options to resize and reposition the playback window, as well as dim the area surrounding the video for that virtual cinema feel within. a mixed reality.
As we already know, Google has specifically said that it currently has no plans to develop a YouTube app for the Vision Pro. At the moment, the only official way to access YouTube on Apple headphones is to load it through Safari.
There might be an app for that.
Initial concerns about app availability on the Vision Pro were calmed somewhat when the device went on sale, with the news that there will soon be over 600 apps on the way (although the current selection is much smaller).
We've already seen Adobe make the leap into mixed reality with its Firefly AI app. You can use it to create AI-generated images, from any text message, with the final results floating in front of your eyes.
However, there are notable obstacles, including Netflix and Spotify, as well as Google. While YouTube allows developers some access to its inner workings, that's not the case with Netflix or Spotify, so don't expect third-party clients for them.
Clearly, the limited number of people who actually have an Apple Vision Pro is making software developers think twice about whether or not to support the hardware, but based on our time with the headset, it's likely to become more popular very quickly.
