Apple Vision Pro without Netflix and YouTube
Some important absences are being noticed in the catalog of apps dedicated to the Apple Vision Pro. Among them, it is worth mentioning the Netflix app, which at least at the time of its debut will not have a version adapted for the headset, requiring the user to access streaming via the device's browser.
YouTube is another platform that has not developed a specific app for Apple's mixed reality glasses, offering access only through Safari, as described above. The same goes for Spotify, which also did not launch a version adapted to the new feature.
