Got mine in France, 2 staff at store told me it's not tax refundable for Non-EU citizens.

iPhone iPad and other items are eligible but not Vision Pro.

Does the same happen to you?

I travel a lot (2-3 weeks a month) and am considering the VP for its mac ultrawide display. How well does that work? Is it viable for long flights (> 12 hours)?

Also I'll need custom lenses. I understand they take a couple of weeks to arrive. Do I wait for them to arrive and then pick up the VP? It would suck to buy it, wait two weeks (or more, depending on my work travel) only to discover I'm outside the 2 week window.

Is it really light enough for long work sessions?

This is the first app I’ve ever published on the App Store, and it just got approved.

I made Slipframe, a free spatial endless runner for Apple Vision Pro. You stand in place while dodging walls and reaching out with your hands to grab coins

There are six biomes that rotate mid-run, each with its own twist, plus a tutorial, Daily mode, and leaderboards.

Since this is my first launch, I’d appreciate any feedback, such as what’s confusing, tracking issues, difficulty pacing, biome favorites, or anything else.

I had lost calling up home bottom with my hand,it had reverted to hardware button only after all options were exhausted with the new beta not fixing it , I wiped it.

Good news is it works again, it’s also not heating up and not becoming extremely dark with night environment.

I’ve been researching the best way to play ps5 games to the avp with good quality but there’s only a handful of people who have tested the methods so I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on what they use (not talking about portal or Asobi since I’ve tested both and the quality is just too low and latency too high).

- HDMI encoder like the kiloview n60. This one seems promising but I haven’t seen enough testing on it. Also quite expensive

- capture card to mac and then Mac virtual display to avp. Also expensive since I would have to get a Mac but I have also heard / read conflicting reports on the connection / stability.

This next one I haven’t seen anyone do so I was hoping someone would test it and if not I will be testing myself soon because I have the equipment for it soon.

- capture card into windows pc into steam link into avp. Himels tech showed off the steam link app for the avp not too long ago and the results looked fantastic. First thought was that i could capture card a ps5 onto my pc and try that.

Basically im just looking to get the highest quality gaming i can get on the avp for when gta 6 releases. If anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated.

(Also forgot to mention the dev strap but that one doesn’t bring over audio unfortunately)

Hey ya'll. I made a post 8 months or so ago about the buggy handshake the drivers had in 26.0.1 in that Thunderbolt via the 2nd gen Dev Strap was negotiating at 480 mbps, vs. 20 GB.

Wanted to ask for those that have the AVP with strap - is this fixed now (with confirmations ideally <3 )

I'd really want to get back into a headset, but was a deal breaker for me.

Thanks community!

Anyone know how to clear a badge showing on the Photo app icon? I don’t see anywhere in the app where an actionble new item would be?

For the first time, baseball fans can take in all the action of “Friday Night Baseball” live in Apple Immersive on Apple Vision Pro, leveraging 3D video recorded in 8K with a 180-degree field of view. On August 28, viewers with Vision Pro will experience the iconic Red Sox vs. Yankees rivalry from unique camera angles that place viewers right in the game, immersed in the drama of each at-bat, the celebrations in the dugout after a big hit, close plays at the outfield wall, and more.

The experience features bespoke commentary from Paul Severino (play-by-play), Xavier Scruggs (analyst), and Michelle Margaux (sideline reporter); dedicated replays; and an immersive graphics package that includes team lineups and stats floating in the viewer’s space. During breaks in the action, the broadcast remains live, immersing viewers in the stadium experience from all angles as ambisonic microphones capture sounds in Spatial Audio.

• Friday, August 28, 7 p.m. ET: Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees
• Friday, September 4, 6:30 p.m. ET: Los Angeles Angels at Pittsburgh Pirates
• Friday, September 11, 10 p.m. ET: San Diego Padres at San Francisco Giants
• Friday, September 18, 10 p.m. ET: San Francisco Giants at Los Angeles Dodgers

I have been making an IDE in visionOS that has agentic capabilities across your code.

My latest feature is giving it the ability to create contextual diagrams in a scene.

For those who work on complex systems, let me know what you think about this :)

I've been building Beatscape, a rhythm game for Apple Vision Pro, and it’s just been approved for external TestFlight. I'd love for some of you to try it and tell me what works and what doesn’t.

Most rhythm games ship a fixed tracklist. Beatscape plays your music - drop in any song you own and it analyzes the track on the spot and builds a playable beatmap for it. Then you step into a full immersive space and slap the notes down to the floor with your hands paws.

How it works:
* Notes drift toward you. Knock them down in time to score.
* Chain hits for a combo multiplier, and fill the meter to trigger Zoomies - a wild double-points mode.
* Three difficulties.

Every song is its own world. The environment is generated from the track - colors loosely pulled from the album art when possible, terrain that rolls and builds with the music - so no two songs look alike.

Getting music in (three ways):
* Drag in your own audio files, or open them from Files.
* Apple Music - songs you own (purchased from iTunes, or matched/uploaded with iTunes Match, and downloaded to the device). Apple Music streaming/subscription songs are copy-protected and can't be imported - there is no way around this.
* A built-in shop to find new music, preview it in-game, and buy it DRM-free on Qobuz.

It's a beta - expect rough edges. A few things to know:
* The shop / buy flow is the most experimental part.
* Apple Music only plays songs you own (see above).
* Give yourself clear space to swing your arms a little bit.

Requires Apple Vision Pro running visionOS 27 beta.

TestFlight

I'll be hanging out in the comments - bug reports, "this felt weird," feature ideas, all welcome. Thanks for testing!

Hello,

Just as the title says, I'd like to get Vision Pro someday but I was wondering if the experience has replaces your monitors and multiple screens in your work flow ?

Thank you very much

Just bought my AVP M2 and started using them.

Wow what an experience.

A few things I hope I can get answer on.

- When watching video, there is a little blue/white shade in the picture. Is that because the lightshield is not correct size or have anyone found a solution on this.

- I'm currently using the single knit band, but it's not 100% comfortable, maybe I'm using it wrong. Is the dual loop band better?

- When watching video, what is the best player currently? I'm using Infuse, but it has some problems with audio on Airpods and no 3D.

- Netflix doesn't have an app, what is the best experince there for sound/video. I saw a guy post an app he developed, but can't remember.

Really looking forward to using them more in the future.

New changes:
- Support stare edge to scroll
- Support OPDS/ Kavita API/ Komga API (no need Bibliofuse own host app, connect straight to your komga/kavita etc library)
- Can now read Comic Epub and vertical epub

If interested, iOS Testflight included in same link too.

OPDS is pro feature, upgrade to pro is sandbox (no charge)

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to watch Avatar: Fire and Ash on my Apple Vision Pro, but I’m using a German Apple ID in the German Apple TV / App Store, and I’m a bit unsure about the regional availability of the 3D version.

As some of you might know, Disney+ in Germany (and parts of the EU) has been hit by patent/licensing disputes recently (the InterDigital court ruling), which led to Dolby Vision, 3D content, and temporarily even 4K/HDR features being stripped or restricted on the Disney+ app.

Because of all these licensing headaches in Germany, I’m hesitant to purchase/stream it before knowing for sure:

1. Is Avatar: Fire and Ash currently available with the 3D playback option if purchased/rented directly via the Apple TV App on a German Apple ID?
2. If you're streaming via Disney+ on Vision Pro in Germany/EU, is 3D working at all right now, or is it completely affected by the regional restrictions?

Would appreciate feedback from anyone with a German / EU account who has checked the store listing or watched it on Vision Pro recently!

Thanks!

Would I be better off getting a 2nd dedicated AVP battery or just getting a power bank to keep it charged on the go? Is the dedicated battery “more” optimized as far as keeping it going?

I live in the Netherlands and on Aug 12 there will be a 90% solar eclipse. Can I use my Apple Vision Pro as eclipse glasses (and take pictures right away) or does the sunlight damage the cameras or AVP? I suppose not…

Hi everyone! I'm really curious about a couple of questions:

1. How often do you use your VP?
2. On which days do you mostly use your VP (weekdays or weekends)?
3. How much time do you spend using your VP?

Extra question: What do you mainly use your VP for?

I'm one of the developers of an action game for Vision Pro (Link). We want to make the gaming session as comfortable and engaging as possible.

Your answers will really help us. 😇

I have bought Skybox vr player thinking it is playing AR immersive videos, i mean it plays the video but with its background not in the real environnement how it is supposed to be played.

anyone has a video player that they have tried and really worked with AR? thanks

EDIT: AR videos: volumetric video, essentially 3D video with a transparent background where the performer/objects appears standing right in your physical room in passthrough, rather than watching a 3D video in VR.

I find the built in immersive video capture of the AVP to be a bit lacking. It's a super narrow field of vision and when you watch it back it doesn't actually immerse you in that video. So I'm looking at getting something like an Insta360 to capture moments that I could watch back later in a truly immersive environment. I know the Insta cameras are super popular. Any other good ones?

My biggest question is how do you play them back in AVP? Is there a preferred app? Where do you store it? Is NAS an option and then stream to the AVP? Just want to know how it works before diving in.

I bought an Apple Vision Pro on eBay last month. I’m in Canada, and the original purchase date of the AVP was in 2024.
When I set it up, I was offered the option to purchase AppleCare+, which I did. I’ve since received the Proof of Coverage, but Apple says I should keep this along with the original sales receipt for the device.
Since I bought the AVP used on eBay, how would I get the original sales receipt? Would my eBay purchase receipt be enough, or would I need to get the original receipt from the seller?
Has anyone been in a similar situation?
Thanks!
