According to a report by Bloomberg News, Apple is set to introduce Apple Intelligence to its Vision Pro headset, alongside an updated mode for guest users and a spatial content app, potentially as early as this coming April. The company is planning to implement these new features through a software upgrade, with a possibility of a beta version being made available to developers this week, as per sources familiar with the matter cited in the report. When contacted by Reuters, Apple did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
In its ongoing efforts to stay ahead of competitors, Apple has been actively integrating artificial intelligence into its devices. Earlier reports from Reuters revealed Apple’s discussions with Tencent and ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, to include their AI models in iPhones sold in China.
Market priced at $3,499 in the United States, the Vision Pro by Apple could soon boast Apple Intelligence features such as the Writing Tools interface, Genmojis, and the Image Playground app, as reported by Bloomberg. This strategic move may be aimed at revitalizing sales of the headset, which had experienced a decline in interest post-launch in February of the previous year due to its high cost and facing stiff competition from more affordable options, including Meta Platforms’ Quest.
