Apple announced there are now over 1,000 apps, designed specifically for Vision Pro. The announcement came from Greg Joswiak, Senior VP of Marketing at Apple, who also added there are over 1.5 million compatible apps for the headset.

The apps are available in a dedicated visionOS App Store, and there have been over 600 available since day one, which was 12 days ago. Some key platforms like Netflix, YouTube, and Spotify said they will not develop a dedicated app, though, and users have to use the services through the Safari browser.

The Google-owned video service later changed its stance and revealed a Vision Pro app is “on the roadmap”. Some say YouTube did a full 180 after seeing the success of the headset, but there is also a chance of missed royalties after a third-party app is already gaining track, and users are paying $5 for it.

How many of these are productivity rather the 'content consumption'. I doubt people will actually get any work done on it. Sure, you can mirror your screen and work on a mountain-top, but that's not much of a use-case and would get old quick.

If you were able to use multiple monitors it might make a compelling argument towards productivity
