JAKARTA Netflix, a video streaming platform, is one of the applications that will not appear on the Apple Vision Pro. In fact, users cannot operate Netflix from the iPad version of the application.

This inaccessible access is a direct decision from Netflix. Some time ago, the company said it was not planning to add Netflix to Apple's new devices.

However, recently they gave a more specific reason. Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters told Stratechery that this decision is part of the company's strategy. Netflix should consider profit when it comes to investing.

"Not out of reluctance or lack of desire, but when you notice that we see the device's perspective almost everywhere, the decision leading to that is that we try and are very thorough," said Peters.

The Netflix official stressed that his company will not invest in unfavorable places. After researching Apple's spatial computer technology, Netflix realized that they would not make much profit.

"Of course we always discuss with Apple to try to find out about it. However, at this time, the device is still on a small scale so it is not very relevant to most of our members," Peters explained.

Although the reasons presented are quite specific, this explanation leads more to the original apps they don't want to create. Peters did not explain why the iPad version of Netflix was not allowed to operate on the device.

If Vision Pro users want to watch interesting movies or events, they can use Disney+ which is in collaboration with Apple. However, if users only want Netflix, they can still access the platform via Safari.
