Apple Vision Pro’s first killer app debuts

The ultrawide display mode in visionOS 2.2.
The Apple Vision Pro’s first killer app has arrived in visionOS 2.2, Bloomberg News‘ Mark Gurman writes. It’s the new virtual ultrawide curved monitor mode that serves as a Mac external display, according to Gurman.
Mark Gurman for Bloomberg News:


Apple markets the Vision Pro as a standalone device (complete with powerful chips and a $3,500 price tag), but one of its best features is the ability to serve as a Mac external monitor. In June, Apple announced plans to make that feature even better, bringing a virtual curved monitor mode to the default size, as well as offering new wide and ultrawide monitor options.
The company released a beta version of these capabilities this past week, and they are a game changer. In my view, the features represent the first true killer app for the Vision Pro. They provide a high-resolution Mac external monitor with what feels like an infinite amount of screen real estate. Before these new modes arrived, I was only using my Vision Pro occasionally to watch movies. Now, I’m back to at least trying to use it every workday.
Apple should be marketing the new ultrawide display modes in a major way. It’s that good.


MacDailyNews Take: The wide and ultrawide options will be available as part of visionOS 2.2, which is expected to arrive for Apple Vision Pro users in early December.
