11 days after the launch of Vision Pro, the number of natively supported apps has exceeded 1,000

Developers took a wait-and-see attitude before the release of Apple Vision Pro. After 11 days, the number of native applications only reached 1,000.

While there were some concerns ahead of Apple Vision Pro's release about the number of native experiences available when it hit the market, initial tallies were around 150 in January. However, as February 2 rolled around, that number quickly increased to 600. On February 13, Apple Senior Vice President and Head of Marketing Greg Joswiak revealed that the number of native visionOS applications currently exceeds 1,000. At the same time, the number of apps compatible with iPhone and iPad has increased to more than 1.5 million. This news demonstrates developer interest and investment in Apple Vision Pro, as well as Apple's success in driving the growth of its ecosystem.

The difference between native applications and compatible applications

visionOS applications are built based on the operating system and retain native features. These apps typically feature large targets and glass-like frames suitable for eye tracking, while providing an interactive menu with widget windows surrounding them.

Compatible applications run in a flat 2D window and can be displayed in landscape or portrait orientation. They look the same on an iPad or iPhone as they do on this platform.

Still in the early stages

The App Store in visionOS 1.0 is quite basic due to the limited number of apps or games available. There are very few categories, and finding apps outside of the home page categories can be challenging.

It’s still early days for Apple Vision Pro and visionOS. Given that the product is only available in the United States, many popular apps may not be updated to support visionOS until the hardware launches globally.
