JAKARTA - YouTube finally launched an original application for Apple Vision Pro. This is good news for users because since the device was released two years ago, YouTube can only be accessed in the browser.
Now, all Vision Pro users can enjoy a variety of interesting content from YouTube instantly, including Shorts content. They can scroll vertical content on a giant virtual screen the size of a movie theater.
Interestingly, YouTube on Vision Pro has a slight difference from the app on mobile or desktop devices. Users can access a special Spatial tab to find content in a format that matches the headset.
The tab will display content in 3D, VR180, and 360-degree formats. Users of devices with M5 chips can also enjoy 8K quality footage with very sharp resolution.
The application also provides a feature that has been difficult to access in the Vision Pro browser, namely the ability to download offline content. Later, downloaded content can be watched without requiring internet connectivity.
Before this native version of the app was available, users had to use Safari or third-party apps that violated the terms of service. Now, the app can be downloaded on the visionOS App Store and is compatible with both M2 and M5 chip models.
Although the launch of this application is part of YouTube's expansion, it is an interesting move because public enthusiasm for spatial computer technology continues to decline. Apple Vision Pro sales data is also increasingly unsatisfactory.
In the last quarter of last year, Apple only managed to sell 45,000 units of Vision Pro. However, this decision is still a good move for YouTube because its competitors, such as Disney+ and Amazon Prime Video, have already been present on the device.
