Testut, who created the Delta emulator and alternative iOS app store Alt Store, posted a tantalizing toot showing what looks like an emulator museum running on the Vision Pro SDK.
“You won’t be able to install emulators on the Vision Pro without jailbreaking the $3,500 headset,” you say.
Yes, I know. Look, just let me have this.
Daring Fireball has a small roundup of app developers like Simon B. Støvring who have already seen... the light.
It’s one of the built-in apps with visionOS. Looking at this image, apparently you’ll be able to print things from the Vision Pro, too! Perfect gadget!
Developers can now start making apps for the Apple Vision Pro. Next month, Apple is going to open “developer labs” in a handful of cities so developers can go hands-on with the headset. Developers will be able to apply for developer kits, too, though I have to imagine those will be under a mountain of NDAs.
In a pair of tweets, supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said Apple would “aggressively” upgrade hardware specs with an eye to the ecosystem around its $3,499 headset.
That includes bumping the iPhone 15’s ultra-wideband (UWB) chip to a new 7nm process and a likely update to Wi-Fi 7 on the iPhone 16. Wi-Fi 7 devices should support faster mesh networking features and lower in-home latency. Qualcomm has said it will enable “peak speeds up to 5.8 Gbps” to a single device.
Slowly, everyone is agreeing that the Vision Pro is a TV, but I’m struggling to believe that it will actually replace the TV sets in your home.
