Apple releases visionOS 2.2 beta 4 ahead of full launch soon

Apple has released visionOS 2.2 beta 4 for developers. The new software version brings us closer to the expected RC and wide launch soon. Here’s what to expect from the latest beta.

Highlights of visionOS 2.2 and today’s beta

Today’s new beta brings the latest version of a big update for Vision Pro users.

The highlight of visionOS 2.2 is a variety of upgrades to Mac Virtual Display. These include:

  • Wide display mode
  • Ultrawide display mode
  • Audio routing through the Vision Pro itself
  • Higher display resolution

We’re expecting a public launch for the update in the next week or two. That means this is likely the final beta before the RC, and as such it’s unlikely to have any new features or changes.

Instead, the focus of beta 4 is on performance and stability, preparing the software for its wide launch soon.
