These coming Vision Pro upgrades could lead to big 2025 success

Vision Pro was selected as 9 to 5 Mac product of the year. But entering its second year, Apple’s space computer still has a lot to prove. Here are three major upcoming upgrades that could lead to a breakthrough for the Vision Pro in 2025.

Apple Intelligence (especially Siri)

Apple’s failure to bring artificial intelligence to its flagship, cutting-edge space computer in 2024 is disappointing but understandable. The company is catching up with artificial intelligence, and rightfully so priority Its most popular devices: iPhone, iPad and Mac.

But Apple intelligence is On the way to Vision Promay appear in visionOS 3.

Many other AI features would make great additions to VisionOS, but the more powerful Siri is easily my top choice.

I’m still a relatively new Vision Pro user, but I’ve quickly discovered that Siri is more important for spatial computing than any other Apple platform (except HomePod).

Voice-first computing has huge potential with Vision Pro and Siri ChatGPT integration plus Powerful upgrades are coming The iOS system in iOS 18.4 will have a huge impact on the VisionOS experience.

Strong game support

For years, Apple has been trying to prove it’s serious about gaming. The iPhone has always been a hot product for gaming, but Apple is also trying to convince users (and developers) to invest in games on Macs, Apple TVs, and other devices.

But somehow Vision Pro launches without much of a gaming story. Apple Arcade offers a variety of space games, and other games can be found in the App Store. However, VR game controllers are not yet supported, and Apple does not seem to regard VisionOS as a gaming platform.

Luckily, it sounds like a PlayStation VR2 controller will be supported Soon, this is hopefully just the beginning of Apple’s game plans.

Apple needs to prove in the new year that gaming is a priority for the Vision Pro. Otherwise, all the best VR games will continue to be exclusive to competing platforms.

More Apple immersive videos

immersive video It is one of the most eye-catching “killer app” features on Vision Pro. The only problem is that demand for content currently far exceeds supply.

Apple ends 2024 with the addition of regularly released immersive videos, and this is sure to continue in 2025 recent developments point to big plan for new content.

The variety of different immersive videos released in 2024 show just how far Apple is experimenting with this new medium, and how much potential it has in the future.

I hope Vision Pro can be A true productivity platformbut this remains open to debate. There’s no denying that immersive movies can make the Vision Pro a killer entertainment device.

Vision Pro is getting an upgrade: Summary

If Apple succeeds on all three fronts, the Vision Pro should start to become more attractive to more people. Price, weight and app ecosystem are also important factors. But the more Apple does to make VisionOS a true computing platform that delivers powerful gaming and video experiences, the brighter the Vision Pro’s future will be.
