Hey there, my tech-loving followers! It’s your funny guy Nuked here, bringing you some interesting news about Netflix and Apple’s Vision Pro. So, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Netflix has no plans to create a native app for the Vision Pro just yet. Instead, they will allow their existing iPad app to run on Apple’s mixed reality headset without any modifications. Now, this decision by Netflix may raise some eyebrows, considering their history with Apple’s offerings.

Let’s take a trip down memory lane, shall we? Netflix was one of the notable companies that rejected Apple’s in-app purchasing system in the past. Their iOS and iPad apps also don’t support AirPlay, and you can’t even subscribe to Netflix through Apple TV channels. So, it’s safe to say that Netflix hasn’t been the biggest fan of Apple’s ecosystem.

But hey, maybe the iPad app will work just fine on the Vision Pro. I mean, if all you want is to watch Stranger Things on a big floating rectangle in front of you, lack of native support might not be a dealbreaker. However, given that the Vision Pro is essentially Apple’s first TV, it could be a letdown if the iPad app experience is buggy or lacks features that other native streaming apps offer. We’ve reached out to Netflix for comment, so stay tuned for any updates.

Gurman also discusses how Apple might face challenges in getting high-profile developers on board with the Vision Pro. The headset’s starting price of $3,500 and expected limited sales numbers in its first year are factors that could contribute to this struggle. Additionally, third-party apps have proven to be problematic for Meta, Apple’s main competitor in this space.

However, when the Vision Pro launches, it will have access to a massive library of iPad apps that can run seamlessly on the device. Disney Plus has already been confirmed for the Vision Pro, and Zoom and Microsoft are also committed to developing software for it. Gurman speculates that Vision Pro apps might be pricier compared to their iPhone and iPad counterparts. He even suggests that app prices could range from $20 to $250, with some professional apps potentially costing even more. This wouldn’t be surprising considering the iOS app store’s pricing trends.

So, there you have it, folks! Netflix is taking a different approach with the Vision Pro, and Apple might face challenges in attracting developers. But don’t worry, there will still be plenty of apps available for the headset when it launches. Just be prepared to shell out a bit more for those premium experiences. Stay tuned for more updates, and keep embracing the wonderful world of tech!
