Just downloaded it and then have been using it for the past hour. Pretty cool stuff. Really like the spatial gallery although I don’t see myself using it that much. Probably gonna be one of those things I think is cool for about a week and then I forget about the app even existing

I like the severance behind-the-scenes photos. I think this would be a great opportunity to show more behind the scene stuff of our favorite TV shows and not just 3-D photos.

This looks like an amazing update and I cannot wait to try the Spatial Gallery. Intelligence is great for the things it's great at (summarizing, prioritizing, etc) but dont need the image playground.

People don’t really use Apple intelligence on the iPhone so doubt the few with a Vision Pro would use it

It's what they are doing to waste dev time. I think that the performance is better on AVP, but still don't use it much. VOS 3.0 will decide if I sell my AVPs off as they just take up space.

I didn't mean to appear condescending if that's how it came across, it's just that many people genuinely don't understand the different between immersive and spatial. Also, the new app is called Spatial Gallery so no real suggestion of immersive content from the app name either.

That aside, I think we can safely assume that Apple will be sponsoring or at the very least strongly encouraging the creation of fully immersive content because for a device like the AVP, content is what it needs most. But as I'm sure you are well aware, this is a chicken & egg problem because the audience is currently small (AVP owners) and the content is costly to produce. I'm happy to play my part in this dilemma for now because I've only had my AVP since around Christmas 2024 and content has been steadily trickling out during that time. I think I would have been much more frustrated if I had bought one on day 1 though.

The immersive content we've seen on AVP so far has I think all come via the Apple TV+ app so I think that's where it will continue to appear. At least until the likes of Netflix and other big streaming players introduce native AVP apps or support immersive content some other way. I expect some content will also be downloadable but probably not top tier movies and other shows due to piracy fears.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to visionOS 2.4 mostly because I should be able to share the experience of using my AVP with family and friends more easily with the new guest user features. The Spatial Gallery is part of that of course, but I've already been saving spatial content via my iPhone 15 Pro for the last year or more and panoramas I took years ago also look amazing.
You came across just fine and I definitely appreciate your response.
I enjoyed going through the new spacial gallery yesterday and it always has me hoping for more. I also have been taking spacial photos and videos on my iPhone 16, but I was really surprised that last year’s update allowed us to make any old photos into a spacial photos as well. I even had photos of a couple of older family members who passed a few years back and the spacial renderings were so realistic that it was almost eerie. Hopefully we’ll see an immersive gallery as costs come down… and being able to easily share the device is the only way for the masses to fully appreciate the technology.

I just wish the iPhone did projection into the head unit. It’s annoying to have apps and notifications on an iPhone for 2 step authentication and then have to take my Vision Pro off to read my phone because Apple allowed developers to not let apps onto Vision Pro from iOS.
