Dear Apple, welcome to the app gap. Signed, a Windows Phone fan.

Despite Apple Vision Pro focusing on entertainment, the headset will not have a dedicated Netflix app. The situation reminds me of Windows Phone back in the day, and I have some advice.

LOL nice.

But even if the Apple scuba diving headset had every app on the planet, it is still not going to sell at that absurd price. $4,000 including tax is insane, even for Apple.

I've always thought "Why not just have glasses that are displays?" Looks like XREAL is on the right path.

Welcome to the app gap, seriously? What a pathetic click bait. If they ever sell this device in numbers, Netflix will be there, unlike Windows Phone, which Google didn't want to succeed and, thus, never brought their services, not unlike what they do with the Amazon's Alexa ecosystem today. Also, Netflix is wrong. They would not expend many resources to release an Apple Vision Pro app and would please their wealthier customers.

That said, although I don't think xReal is in the same category of the Apple Vision Pro, I agree Apple's gadget is too expensive and will not sell in high numbers. I do believe Xreal and the Meta Ray Bans are trying the right approach. Start with something closer in design and comfort to what people want to later bring the full funcionality as the tech evolves.

"If they ever sell this device in numbers" .... " I agree Apple's gadget is too expensive and will not sell in high numbers."

It seems a bit chicken and egg. That being said, I think the tone of this piece is pretty clearly comedic.

I bet they don't get Fortnite on there either! LOL

Google also would not allow third parties to be bring Googles services there even though they allowed them on other platforms.

Funny article Sean.
Even with the app gap there are many things I miss about my Windows phone. :-|
