Apple Vision Pro review: one year later. It's been a wild year for Apple Vision Pro, if slow, and it's time for Apple to step up and prove it's the future and drive customers, developers, and creators to the platform. Apple Vision Pro continues to be one of Apple's most frustrating yet amazing products it has ever released. It is simultaneously a preview of the future and a stark reminder of Apple's struggle to juggle multiple platforms in the modern era.
As it stands today, Apple Vision Pro is enough for me to get most of my work done. It sits in a similar space to where iPad Pro was a few years ago — almost there. The introduction of Apple Intelligence and it not being on Apple Vision Pro has been a bit of a problem. When editing text, I either need to use the Mac Virtual Display or take off the headset to edit on iPad.
The lack of native apps hasn't proven to be a big problem, as many iPad apps are available. If you're a user like me, you'll be happy with the challenge of replicating workflows on the visionOS platform. So, as I look back on the first year of Apple Vision Pro, I want to look forward too, and discuss what Apple needs to make this a possible future in computing. The iPad Pro is still my primary computer, but there are aspects of Apple Vision Pro that keep pulling me back, and I hope more are on the way.
If you'd like to see how I've discussed Apple Vision Pro from pre-launch to today, here's a handy list. The iPhone is Apple's bread and butter, so it makes sense to see much of the company's attention on it and not on other products. If iPad users thought Apple's development cycle have been long, Apple Vision Pro is on a whole new level.
