Apple's Vision Pro is 'not really particularly relevant' to customers — Netflix explains why it won't have a Spatial Computing app at launch

Vision Pro Cinema.

When Apple's Vision Pro headset finally goes on sale on February 2 there will be plenty of apps for early adopters to download from the App Store. But Netflix won't be one of them after the video streaming company decided against making a Spatial Computing version of its app designed specifically for the Vision Pro. What's more, Netflix also decided against flicking the switch that would allow Vision Pro owners to use its iPad app on the platform, too.

The latter decision is the most strange, but we now know exactly why Netflix took the former one — there just won't be enough Vision Pro headsets in use to make it worth the company's time to develop a new app. That might change, of course. But right now Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters sees Apple's Vision Pro as being "so subscale that it’s not really particularly relevant to most of our members."
