Apple Vision Pro: Full List Pre-Installed Apps

Apple debuted in the VR space with it’s Vision Pro. Apple’s new Vision Pro has become available bearing a hafty $3,500 price tag. The headset arrives crammed with numerous pre-loaded apps from Apple, primed to exhibit its augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR) abilities. This article breaks down Full List Pre-Installed Apps on Apple Vision Pro.

Sticking to what they know best, Apple’s gone and done it again with the Vision Pro, keeping things super neat by not loading it up with any of those carrier or third-party apps. It’s just like when you crack open a new iPhone or iPad – you’ve got that clean slate waiting for you, filled only with the essentials crafted by Apple themselves.

They’ve been all about that pure, uncluttered vibe since the very first iPhone hit the scene, really putting the spotlight on user experience and privacy. It’s all about making sure we get to pick and choose the apps that matter to us, without any extras thrown in our face from the get-go.
