Apple’s most expensive consumer hardware piece is finally obtaining Apple’s intelligence. The latest visitor update 2.4, which is available as a beta developer today (February 18, 2025), carries Apple’s artificial intelligence brand to Vision Pro devices, although for now, it is only for devices in English.
The movement instantly helps to better position the space computing platform with the next Project Moohan headphones, a mixed reality of Google, Samsung and Qualcomm that promises to put Google Gemini in the center of the experience. Apple’s movement also reduces a certain frustration of Vision Pro owners who wondered why Apple’s most advanced consumption technology lacked a feature found in all iPhone 16 models, many iPads and MacBooks.
As has often the case with the deployment of Apple Intelligence, the update does not include all the characteristics that will probably be in iOS 18.4 that supports iPhones. However, it includes more than we obtained in the initial deployment of iPhone Apple Intelligence.
New key features include:
- Writing tools in native vision pro applications
- Genmojis
- Image platelet
- Chatgpt access
More importantly, these characteristics will be integrated with the native Vision Pro functions, including voice and gestures.
What is missing here is any type of Siri update beyond the current characteristics of the digital wizard, an exclusion that could frustrate some. On the other hand, now that Apple has opened the door to Apple Intelligence on Vision Pro, they will surely follow numerous updates.
Then, any Siri feature that sees on the iPhone 16 with iOS 18.4, will surely arrive at Vision Pro. We hope to see a version that knows the activities in the mixed reality headphones and can take intelligent measures based on what it sees through the Multiple cameras and device sensors (something we expect from the Moohan project, every time it is finally sent).
With the visitor update 2.4, users will be able to use voice indications to request writing changes such as “make it more friendly”, and will receive rewriting assistance and test correction. Image Playground will be integrated into messages, just like iOS. Smart answers can look at the content of a mess of messages and create a contextual response. And you can use voice indications to create movie memories. Obviously they exist on the iPhone, but they can assume a new dimension thanks to the immersive field of vision pro.
Ease and access
Apple is also making several other changes to better connect the experiences of its iPhone and Vison Pro. The most notable could be the new Vision Pro application in iOS, a utility that Apple could have delivered when it launched the headphones more than a year ago.
Think about the application as similar in some aspects to the application to see iPhone.
The Vision Pro application acts as a promotional tool for the fresh vision content and spatial experiences, but also a place where you can take remote actions. You can, for example, use the application to add films to surveillance lists, activate application downloads and learn details about your headphones, such as serial number, software version and recipe for your Zeiss lens inserts (if the has). The application is configured to get with iOS 18.4 and it is only installed if the system knows that it has a pro vision.
Apple seems to be doing a lot of work to expand the vision store. To that end, the guest mode obtains a valuable update that should relieve the exchange process. With Visionos 2.4, Vision Pro owners can simply give someone their vision Pro. When the guest puts it, a message appears on the iPhone or iPad of the Vision Pro owner, allowing them to enable to share from there and choose what applications share.
Inside Vision Pro, users will find a new space gallery application that offers cured spatial content, including photos, videos and panoramas, crossing multiple genres such as sports, entertainment and trips.
Without a doubt, this is one of the most significant updates of Vision Pro, and much is designed to help headphones to compete better with the next Google, Samsung, Meta and others devices. None of that addresses the high price of $ 3,499.99, but at least now there are even good reasons to make the investment.
