Apple will be releasing two new apps soon, and because you can already test them, we know exactly what you can do with it. You need to know this!
To test new Apple apps now!
Apple’s own collection of apps is becoming increasingly extensive. For example, every large iOS update is usually equipped with a new asset: with iOS 18 that was the app passwords, with iOS 17 we received diary and with iOS 16 we were introduced to Freeform. Sometimes Apple even comes spontaneously with a new app. That happened last February, when Apple surprised with the brand new invitations.
So invitations have only just been released, but Apple will soon be releasing two new apps. One of them has already been spotted in iOS 18.4 beta 2. This is the latest test version for the next interim iOS update: it brings some new features, but also new functions and possibilities. Including a new app. But another one is coming, and that app is in a completely different update …
Apple Vision Pro
The first app is simply called ‘Apple Vision Pro’. The name already indicates, but with this you can control certain possibilities of the Apple Vision Pro without actually setting up the headset. In that respect, this app looks like the Watch app, with which you can use your iPhone to adjust Apple’s smart watch: you can change some settings, design a new dial and more.
The Apple Vision Pro app offers various options. This way you will find the model number, the serial number and the software version of your headset, so that you have this at hand quickly. You can also consult tips and a user manual. There is also a new tab with which you can browse through new media for Visionos, such as apps, games and Apple Immersive Videos. Compare that tab with the ‘Today’ tab in the App Store.
Spatial Gallery
There will also be a new app for the Apple Vision Pro itself: ‘Spatial Gallery’. You will not find that in iOS 18.4 beta 2, but in Visionos 2.4 beta 2. A test version for the next interim update of the Apple Vision Pro.
See spatial gallery but as a digital gallery for the Vision Pro. Here you will find all kinds of spatial photos, videos and panoramas, which you can view on your nose with Apple’s headset. The images were made by professionals, from artists to filmmakers and photographers, and the selection has been compiled by employees at Apple. It tech company Calls some examples yourself:
With Spatial Gallery, users enjoy breathtaking and intimate moments with regard to art, culture, entertainment, lifestyle, nature, sports, and travel, with a regular extension of new content. From the release, users discover remarkable perspectives of photographers such as Jonpaul Douglass and Samba Diop; New stories and experiences from iconic brands including Cirque du Soleil, Red Bull, and Porsche; Moments behind the scenes at Apple Originals such as Disclaimer, Severance, and Shrinking; And special moments of top artists.
Release new Apple apps?
The new apps only officially appear with the release of iOS 18.4 and Visionos 2.4. He will probably take place in April. Then Apple brings its AI functions to more countries with the help of an interim update. The chance is therefore very high that Apple means iOS 18.4. And given that Apple is usually released at the same time, we also expect Visionos 2.4 that month.
