Google’s YouTube and Spotify Technology SA, the world’s most popular video and music services, are joining Netflix Inc. in steering clear of Apple Inc.’s upcoming mixed-reality headset.

YouTube said in a statement Thursday that it isn’t planning to launch a new app for the Apple Vision Pro, nor will it allow its longstanding iPad application to work on the device. YouTube, like Netflix, is recommending that customers use a web browser if they want to see its content: “YouTube users will be able to use YouTube in Safari on the Vision Pro at launch.”

    On a phone maybe. But on a computer what more functionality do you really get, since this is more like a computer?

      Why is it so different on a „computer“? Sure, Spotify specifically is probably not a big deal and the only extra functionality for it are widgets and proper integration into Now Playing. Other apps benefit a lot more.
