Apple is adding to the ecosystem of its spatial computer with a new app for the iPad called Vision Pro. The company has said that the app will come out with the next iPadOS 26.1 update, which is expected to happen by the end of October or the start of November.
This change gives iPad users a new, easy way to find and organize content for the headset without having to wear it.
This comes after the release of a similar Vision Pro app for the iPhone, which came out with iOS 18.4 in April. The iPad version has a bigger screen that lets users explore the growing library of spatial experiences.
What you can do with the Vision Pro App on your iPad
The new iPad app will be the main place for everything Vision Pro. Its main features will help users find and organize their spatial content more easily.
On the Discover page, users will be able to look through hand-picked suggestions for new and interesting apps and games. They can also put these apps and games in a queue so that they download directly to their headset. This makes it easy to build their library ahead of time.
The app is also a great place to find tips on how to get the most out of the Vision Pro and to quickly figure out things like the current version of visionOS and the headset’s serial number.
The hardware gets a big update at the same time as the iPad app comes out. Apple just announced a new version of the Vision Pro headset that runs on the more powerful M5 chip.
This new model has better performance, a sharper display that can refresh at up to 120 Hz, and a longer battery life, lasting up to 2.5 hours of regular use.
These changes show that Apple is still putting money into the Vision Pro platform, making the device more powerful and its ecosystem easier for users to access on different Apple devices.
