It’s been a few days since the Apple Vision Pro went on sale, a very innovative and long-awaited device that, despite having some points that could be improved, generally seems to have left a good taste in the mouths of those who have already tried it. In addition, if you are a user of social networks (especially Twitter), you must have already seen pictures of people using a computer browser in all sorts of situations: walking down the street, on public transport and even, and this seems like absolute nonsense, while sitting behind the wheels of their cars with autonomous driving systems (mainly Teslas, of course).

Initial sales seem to have been good as well, as 200,000 units have already been reached in pre-sale reservations alone, which is a significant number considering that it has a starting price of $3,499 and that it could go as high as $5,000. Of course, we’ll have to wait to check its commercial performance after this initial boom, but so far it looks like things are looking good for those from Cupertino.

An important aspect to sustaining success over time is, yes, so that users can find personalized applications that allow you to get the most out of Apple Vision Pro. However, Netflix said in the middle of last month that it had no intention of publishing a dedicated app for viewers, and Spotify followed suit, something that may be less concerning partly because of the difficult relationship between the two technologies, but also because of doubts about , whether the volume of device users would justify the necessary investment in creating an application. Something we can actually think is true for many other cases as well.

Today, however, Apple has good news in this regard. And as we read in The Verge, Google has a dedicated YouTube app planned for the Apple Vision Pro. And this is even more important (especially for viewers, of course) because Google has decided that the YouTube app for iPad is not available in the visionOS App Store, so the only way to access YouTube videos from the viewer at the moment is through a web browser.

There are several reasons that could have prompted Google to take this step.. In my opinion, the sales success of the Apple Vision Pro must have played a key role. As I indicated earlier, projecting the cost of developing a specific application for a specific device is a decision that is not normally taken lightly. Now, with these good sales figures, it makes sense to think that Google saw color. However, there are those who believe that the success of the Juno app, which is native to Apple Vision Pro and allows you to play content from YouTube, has managed to get Google to avoid indirect access to its content from the Cupertino space computer. .
