Apple Vision Pro is released in the US next month, Netflix will not be releasing a stand-alone software for it. The iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS operating systems from Apple all support the streaming platform's app. When the headset launches in the coming days, it appears that Netflix users won't be able to access the platform's content through an app. Apple does, however, permit app developers to adapt their tablet versions of their apps to function with visionOS.

According to Bloomberg, Netflix will not provide a special app for those who buy Apple's $3,499 (about Rs. 2.9 lakh) spatial computer when it ships on February 2 in the US. The company informed the outlet that consumers will need to stream their content on the Vision Pro headset without the need for a standalone app, much like Netflix subscribers who watch the service through a web browser on Mac PCs.

The article claims that there are certain restrictions that Netflix subscribers will have to deal with when viewing content on the Vision Pro. These restrictions include the inability to handle offline downloads, restricted video quality settings, and the absence of "Environments," which implies that immersive background content cannot be viewed. Additionally, the service severely restricts the quality of streaming on browsers like as Firefox, Google Chrome, and Opera; 4K resolution can be streamed with Safari (macOS 11 or later) and Microsoft Edge.

The most notable omission from Apple's list of streaming services that will provide apps specifically designed for the Vision Pro headset was the most widely used streaming platform worldwide. The business declared on Wednesday that a number of streaming apps, such as Amazon Prime Video, Crunchyroll, Discovery+, Disney+, ESPN, Fubo, IMAX, MLB, MUBI, Max, NBA, PGA Tour, Paramount+, Peacock, Pluto TV, Red Bull TV, TikTok, and Tubi, will be available on the Vision Pro.
Along with 150 3D films, Avatar: The Way of Water, Dune, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and The Super Mario Bros. Movie will be available to customers who buy the Apple Vision Pro. According to Apple, users of the headgear may see videos in both 2D and 3D and with spatial audio.

With a price tag of $3,499 (approximately Rs. 2.9 lakh), the impending headgear may be less enticing to users who were hoping for a more immersive method to view their favorite TV series, though, as it will not come with a standalone Netflix app at launch. Whether Netflix modifies its position in the event that the Vision Pro is introduced in non-US regions is still to be seen.
