Vision Pro pre-orders are set to open on January 19 with the first deliveries slated for February 2. Ahead of the all-new device arriving in the real world, here are the productivity, streaming, and other Vision Pro apps with the new spatial experience you can expect at launch.
We don’t know exactly which apps (and how many) will be available for Vision Pro at launch, but Apple has shared more details.
The company’s most recent Newsroom post highlighted that “more than 1 million familiar apps across iOS and iPadOS are available on Apple Vision Pro and automatically work with the new input system.”
But separate from basic compatibility, the Vision Pro App Store will feature apps with custom-designed “spatial computing experiences unlike any other platform.” That will allow apps to scale to almost any size and be arranged anywhere.
Here are the apps Apple is highlighting that should offer the full spatial computing experience:

Apple has been showing demos Keynote since June (alongside Safari) and has a visionOS version, so those are expected to be ready to go. Hopefully, Pages, Numbers, and more are coming at some point to round out the iWork suite.
