Welcome to the future of computing with Apple Vision Pro.
Apple Vision Pro: A glimpse into the future of mixed reality
Apple Vision Pro is an AR headset and Apple’s first “spatial computer.” Revealed at WWDC23 and released on Feb. 2, 2024, the $3,499 mixed-reality headset wins accolades for its high-end hardware and remarkable user interface. A passthrough video system allows augmented reality applications.
Vision Pro runs on visionOS, Apple’s intuitive new operating system designed to enable immersive virtual reality experiences. (Apple calls it the “ultimate entertainment device.”) Users control the headset with their eyes, thanks to the impressive eye‑tracking system, and a handful of simple gestures.
Below is Cult of Mac’s full coverage, including news, how-tos, reviews and opinions.
Introduction
The Vision Pro headset features a stretchable elastic headband and a separate battery.
Apple unveiled its groundbreaking Apple Vision Pro at the company’s Worldwide Developers Conference in June 2023, and released it to the public eight months later in February 2024.
The Apple Vision Pro stands is a “mixed reality” headset, capable of showing both virtual and augmented reality content. Unlike typical augmented reality glasses, Apple’s headset fully covers the user’s eyes, completely immersing its wearer by blocking out their surroundings entirely.
However, Vision Pro has six external cameras that show the surrounding space, offering users an accurate depiction of their real-world environment. While not transparent like see-through glasses, it effectively presents a lifelike representation of the user’s surroundings using passthrough video.
Inside the headset, users can interact with 3D windows, objects, and content seamlessly integrated into their physical space. Alternatively, the cameras can be deactivated by turning the device’s Digital Crown, immersing users into a fully virtual environment. Apple emphasizes the headset’s versatility, enabling users to work, consume content, engage in gaming, communication, and more, regardless of their location.
What Is Apple Vision Pro?
The Vision Pro and its connected battery.
Designed to resemble ski goggles, Apple Vision Pro is a high-end headset that blends the digital and physical worlds. Here are some key features:
4K Micro-OLED Displays: Vision Pro is powered by a pair of custom 4K micro-OLED displays — with more than 11 million pixels each — that deliver extremely sharp visuals directly into the wearer’s eyes. Users can browse the web, work in apps, use Mac Virtual Desktop, watch giant TV and movies or chat in Messages — while staying aware of their surroundings.
3D Camera: Its external 3D cameras can capture Spatial photos and videos. When replayed in the headset, these 3D photos and videos have a depth that makes the viewer feel ‘almost there.’ It also supports Spatial Audio, which adds to the illusion of immersion. Spatial videos can also be captured with iPhone 15 Pro to view on Apple Vision Pro.
Spatial Audio: Vision Pro support Spatial Audio: sound that appears to be anchored in a particular location in space. Its high-quality speakers are located on the headset’s arms. The speakers can also combine sounds broadcast by the headset with sound from the environment.
Collaboration and Connection: Apple redesigned the FaceTime video-calling app to work in 3D. During FaceTime calls, speakers appear life-size, while the wearer’s face is depicted via a digital representation called a Persona. On FaceTime calls, users can simultaneously work on shared documents or apps. On conference calls, Spatial Audio helps make it clear which person is speaking.
Design: Apple Vision Pro is distinguished by its high-end materials and clever, thoughtful design.
EyeSight: The front of Vision Pro features an EyeSight screen, made from a single piece of three-dimensionally formed laminated glass, which depicts the wearer’s eyes and facial expressions. This is designed to lessen isolation with people around the wearer; although it’s come in for some early criticism.
Light Seal: The light seal is a soft, cushiony seal to keep out light. It attaches magnetically to the glass-and-aluminum-alloy frame, and comes in a variety of sizes according to the wearer’s face.
Headband Straps: The main headband is made from a soft, 3D knitted fabric, designed it to be stretchy and breathable. It is adjusted by a Fit Dial on the left-hand audio arm that ensures the headset fits closely against the wearer’s head. Apple also includes a dual-band strap that fits over the top of the wearer’s head to alleviate the headset’s weight; and across the back of the head to ensure a tight fit. Apple offers headbands and light seals in a variety of sizes, and the are easily swapped out.
How Does It Work?
Apps in visionOS are floating in your environment.
Apple Vision Pro runs visionOS, a spatial operating system built upon macOS, iOS, and iPadOS. Interactions feel intuitive and magical:
Eye Control: Look at an element to select it.
Gesture Interaction: Tap your fingers together to interact.
Voice Commands: Use dictation to type effortlessly.
Applications
Vision Pro will make you feel like you’re right in the middle of your panoramic photos, Apple says.
1. Entertainment
Apple Vision Pro won early praise as a private cinema. Movies and TV shows appear in the headset to be projected onto a giant, 100-foot or larger screen. And with great speakers that support Spatial Audio, the experience is like being inside a private IMAX theater.
2. Photos and Videos
Spatial Photos and videos also received high praise. Thanks to the 3D effect, spatial videos and photos enhance the illusion of reliving the moment captured in them. Vision Pro is compatible with iPhone Panoramas, which wrap around the viewer in 180 degrees.
3. Collaboration
Using FaceTime, participants can collaborate on documents or other work files, bridging the gap between physical and virtual spaces.

The demo lasts 20 to 30 minutes. The demos are guided by an Apple Store employee, who uses an iPad mini to see what you see inside the headset.
If you wear glasses, your demo will began with an Apple staffer scanning your eyeglasses in a special machine that measures the lenses. The machine selects the appropriate corrective lenses to allow you to see properly inside the headset.
The store demo of Apple Vision Pro is wonderful. I urge you to get one.
The demo is a quick, easy way to experience the Vision Pro and what Apple calls “spatial computing.”
The Apple employees who walk you through the process won’t pressure you to buy a Vision Pro. And you’ll get a fantastic look at Apple’s big bet on the future of computing.
How to set up a store demo: To sign up for a demo, head to Apple’s Vision Pro product page and click the “Book a demo” button. Alternatively, you can use the Apple Store app.
If you don’t want to book ahead, you can take your chances by going to an Apple Store and trying to get a same-day demo.
Apple Vision Pro reviews
Apple Vision Pro has gotten rave reviews for its mind-blowing peek into the future of computing, but almost all reviewers balked at the $3,500 price tag. For that price, many reviewers suggested waiting until later versions, which would likely see price reductions.
“Apple Vision Pro is the most amazing technology I’ve experienced in my life,” we said Cult of Mac’s review:
Like all Apple products, it is subject to Apple’s Standard Return Policy, which allows you to start a return within 14 days from the date it was received from Apple. You then have another seven days to mail it back or take it in to an Apple Store.
The headset must be in good original condition with all the parts, accessories and packaging intact. If the headset is purchased through a third-party retailer, it must be returned to that retailer (and is subject to that retailer’s returns policy).
Returning Zeiss Optical Inserts: Even though they are custom made, Zeiss lens inserts can also be retuned within 14 days. Although the Zeiss Optical Inserts are sold separately by Zeiss, Apple is accepting returns on behalf of Zeiss within the 14-day return window.
AppleCare+, Apple’s optional insurance program for its products, can be added for $499.
The standard warranty is one year for hardware repair coverage (and up to 90 days of technical support).
AppleCare+ extends hardware coverage for an additional two years. It covers unlimited incidents of accidental damage protection. But each incident is subject to a service fee, which ranges from $29 for damaged accessories to $299 to damage to the headset, including the front glass.
Seeing as Apple charges $799 for glass repair without AppleCare+, getting the extra coverage is worth considering.
AppleCare+ coverage also includes 24/7 priority access to Apple tech experts via phone, mail-in repair with a prepaid shipping box, and Express Replacement Service (Apple ships a replacement Vision Pro while the original is in the shop).
The battery is covered if it retains less than 80% of its original capacity.
AppleCare+ can be added at the time of purchase, or within 60 days.
To buy coverage later, go to Settings > General > About and choose Add AppleCare+ Coverage. AppleCare+ can also be purchased online or at an Apple Store.
In a pinch yes, you can wear your glasses inside the headset. However, the headset isn’t designed to be used with glasses. If you wear your glasses, the fit is likely to be uncomfortable, and possibly dangerous if you trip or bump your head. However, if you want to try it out with glasses, it does work.
If you wear glasses to correct your vision, you may need Zeiss Optical Inserts, which are sold as an optional accessory starting at $99. The Zeiss lens inserts are necessary for most people who need glasses for vision correction. Even if you’re nearsighted, and the screens are just an inch from your eyes, you will need lenses for it to look clear as it simulates a focal distance of four feet (1.3 meters). Without inserts, images inside the headset will not appear sharp and in-focus. The imge inserts attach to the inside lenses with magnets.
If you wear soft contact lenses to correct your distance vision, you likely won’t need lens inserts: the headset works with most soft contact lenses.
To determine if you need lens inserts, during the online buying process, Apple’s website asks buyers a couple of questions about their vision.
If you need lens inserts, you must upload a current optical prescription to Zeiss, which makes custom inserts to match your prescription.
Can you share Apple Vision Pro with someone else?
Let a friend try your fancy new headset.
Yes, the headset can be shared with someone else via Guest Mode. You need to enable it from Control Center. Then, you have five minutes to remove the lens inserts (if you have them) and hand it to someone else to put it on.
I recommend you use screen mirroring to an iPhone or iPad, so that you can see what your guest is doing and help them if they get lost.
Guest Mode starts with a hand and eye setup process. Guest Mode is disabled as soon as the headset is taken off. Unfortunately, there’s no memory, so the hand and eye setup will need to be done again if they want to try it a second or third time.
Apple Vision Pro developer kit
Apple is offering free loans of the device as part of its Apple Vision Pro developer kit. Apple is loaning headsets to qualified developers who apply. It’s open to developers registered with Apple’s Developer Program or Developer Enterprise Program. Applicants must provide details of their team and current apps. Loaned headsets must be returned to Apple on request.
Apple Vision Pro FaceTime
FaceTime in visionOS puts people around the room in your space.
Apple Vision Pro is a great way to make FaceTime calls using the Persona created when setting up the headset. The Persona is a digital recreation of the person’s face that’s animated to show facial expressions and reactions. They range from remarkable to creepy.
Making a FaceTime call is as easy as tapping the FaceTime button in the Messages app. From the Home View, you can also tap the People tab and tap on a contact to start a call. Here’s how to place a FaceTime call.

That cheaper Vision Pro you were waiting for? Don’t hold your breath. Apple reportedly shelved the project to redirect its focus on creating smart glasses to compete with Meta’s popular products.
Previous rumors indicated Apple would release a stripped-down version of its $3,499 Vision Pro headset by 2027. But Apple execs reportedly told employees last week that it’s putting the lighter, cheaper headset on the back burner.

Apple must have heard the complaints about the cost and weight of the Vision Pro AR headset, because it’s reportedly working on a Vision Air that will be half as expensive and almost half the weight. That’s the word coming Tuesday from a source who’s built a reputation by often being accurate in predictions about future Apple products.
It’ll take Apple a while to develop the new product, though.

In a groundbreaking development, a brain-computer interface (BCI) company successfully demonstrated the first-ever use of Apple’s Vision Pro AR/VR headset — and later an iPad — controlled directly by thought, according to Synchron. The innovation opens up exciting possibilities, perhaps even beyond helping individuals with severe mobility limitations engage with cutting-edge technology. Innovations like thought control of Vision Pro and iPad could lead to big things for both hands-free and voice-free use of devices.
August 4 update: In a new video, Synchron released proof of the first-ever public demonstration of an individual using an iPad controlled entirely by thought, leveraging Apple’s built-in accessibility features and new Brain-Computer Interface Human Interface Device (BCI HID) protocol, the company said. Watch the video below.

visionOS 26, the next major software release for the Apple Vision Pro, will bring spatial widgets, better Personas, new accessories, more integration with iPhone, more immersive content, Look to Scroll and so much more to the powerful headset.
Apple Vision Pro is “a revolutionary spatial computer that seamlessly blends digital content with the real world,” says Mike Rockwell, Apple’s vice president of the Vision Products Group. “With brand-new ways for Vision Pro owners to connect, explore, work together, and enjoy content,” visionOS 26 is a huge update.
Announced after iOS 26, watchOS 26 and macOS Tahoe at WWDC25 on Monday, visionOS 26 will be available today as a developer beta and will release publicly for everyone this fall.

WWDC25 is a mere days away. While the hottest news is that iOS, macOS, watchOS and other platforms will get a visual redesign borrowed from visionOS, the question left unasked is … what’s coming to visionOS?
Rumors say there will be new advanced eye tracking features and support for VR hand controllers. But with a full twelve months of development, Apple probably has much more in store for its premium spatial computer.
Here’s what Apple may announce on Monday for the Vision Pro.
Apple TV+ viewers and Vision Pro users can watch the Bono documentary starting May 30. Photo: Apple TV+
The new documentary Bono: Stories of Surrender premieres Friday, May 30, on Apple TV+. And it simultaneously debuts as the first feature-length Immersive Video on the Vision Pro headset. In that format, it offers an 8K Spatial Audio experience that places viewers directly onstage with the U2 frontman in a 180-degree video environment. You can watch the trailer below.
The film offers viewers a bold and lyrical visual exploration of Bono’s acclaimed one-man show, providing unprecedented access to his personal journey as a musician, activist and family man, Apple TV+ said. The Vision Pro version’s title will be Bono: Stories of Surrender (Immersive).
Update 2:Bono: Stories of Surrender begins streaming Friday on Apple TV+. Whereas one review calls it “a heartfelt portrait of the U2 star,” another refers to its “rock star pomposity” and a third splits the difference: “A punch-to-the-guts stage show once you get past the Bono-ness of it all.”
Update 1: Apple TV+ posted a trailer for the Bono documentary film on YouTube Wednesday, available to watch below. For U2 and Bono fans, it’s sure to impart all the feels, as Bono jokes with the audience and tells stories about his upbringing and time with the band.
Apple Vision Air could be the iPhone replacement. Eventually. AI concept: ChatGPT/Cult of Mac
Apple makes the bestselling phone, smartwatch and wireless headphones, and is fantastically profitable as a result. But if it can’t develop the Next Big Thing, it could easily be out of business in 10 years. But there’s no cause for concern — Apple is already working on the product that’ll replace the iPhone: smart glasses.
Even better, Apple is taking two approaches for developing smart glasses, which should go a long way toward ensuring that it makes the definitive version of the must-have computer of the 2030s.
The next major update to visionOS could include eye scrolling, for navigating long lists and webpages entirely hands-free. The Vision Pro already uses eye- and hand-tracking for navigating its interface; if true, this would take it to the next level.
Scrolling is one of the most fundamental interactions with a smartphone. But it hasn’t translated as well to the Vision Pro, where you need to pinch two fingers together and move your hand.
If visionOS 3 lets you scroll simply by looking at the bottom of a window, that could be a powerful new feature of the headset.
The new head of Siri development has one job: make it stink less. AI image: ChatGPT/Cult of Mac
In a shake-up aimed at revitalizing Apple’s aging Siri voice assistant, the iPhone giant brought in Mike Rockwell to lead a comprehensive overhaul now in progress, according to a new report. First, the former head of Vision Pro software continues revitalizing the Siri leadership team in the Vision Pro team’s image.
A cutting-edge pair of AI sports glasses feature innovative audio technology from xMEMS Labs, the company said Tuesday. The new BleeqUp Ranger glasses, developed by Chinese startup BleeqUp, represents the first commercial use of a xMEMS solid state microtweeter in AI eyewear — but likely not the only one.
“xMEMS is proud to help power the next generation of AI wearables,” said Steven Bentley, VP of worldwide sales at xMEMS Labs. “The integration of Cowell into BleeqUp’s glasses not only showcases the high-fidelity performance of our MEMS speakers. We’re excited to help more companies accelerate their path to market with compact, high-performance audio solutions for AI glasses.”
Perhaps that, or the upcoming uses of xMEMS Labs’ Sycamore microspeaker, could signal a new direction for Apple if it revives its smart glasses project.

Apple may soon release a lighter, thinner version of its Vision Pro headset that may go by the name of “Vision Air,” according to multiple leaks Wednesday and Thursday from a semi-reliable source. The new device would represent a significant redesign focused on weight reduction while potentially offering a more affordable alternative to the $3,500 Vision Pro. And it might come in a bluish-black color rather than Vision Pro’s silver.
Vision Pro Guest mode is how you can share your Vision Pro with someone else. Because if you own one of Apple’s new AR/VR headsets, everyone you know is inevitably going to want to try it on. That’s where Vision Pro Guest Mode comes in.
With the release of visionOS 2.4 and iOS 18.4, setting up Guest Mode is much easier than before. The old way still works — but to make sharing your headset more seamless, you should follow the instructions below. There’s a little bit of setup, but then it should be smooth sailing.
This is how to set up a guest user on Vision Pro. Keep reading or watch our video.
