They need to bring phone mirroring to Vision Pro. I hate how I can’t really look down on my iPhone when using VP as the refresh rate is pretty poor.

The best thing about this is that it means visionOS 2.2 with the Mac ultra-wide screen is closer to coming to beta. That's what every Vision Pro owner is waiting for. Nobody cares about 2.1!

I didn’t even bother powering it up earlier this week for beta five

I might power the device up next week when the official release candidate comes out

I just don’t use this thing any it’s just too much of a pain in the ass and the battery sucks

By the way, where’s our widescreen support? They promised us forever ago.
