🥽 Apple Vision Pro has been developed since at least 2008

📆 A 2008 patent shows that the company had been working on Vision Pro for at least 15 years before it finally launched. Both the patent drawing and the description of the device are remarkably consistent with the product that finally launched in 2024.

📈 The display technology needed to turn the idea into reality didn’t even exist then, but Apple still had a clear vision of what it wanted to achieve – and was prepared to keep developing it until it finally was feasible, albeit at a very high price.

🐌 The big question now is how much longer it will take for the company to be able to offer a more affordable Apple Vision product without making too many compromises along the way. The most recent reporting suggests Apple has put this project on the back-burner for now as it focuses on a 2nd-gen Pro device likely to be powered by an M5 chip.

🍏 Among new features that visionOS 2 brought there is Panoramic productivity with Mac Virtual Display that allows you to use your MacBook display around you.

🥽 Like many other 'yummy' features from Apple the one above 'coming later this year'. All updates in the new visionOS can be found here.

📱 19 is six month away

Nine month for a regular users.

📸 According to a new video from Jon Prosser (📺 channel Front Page Tech), iOS 19 will feature a redesigned Camera app inspired by visionOS. The image and the video reveal that the app will allegedly gain translucent menus for various camera controls.

🔍 The camera controls are split into photo and video categories, with options for recording spatial video, turning on a timer for a photo, and more. Additional controls for video resolution and frame rate pop over at the top of the screen as necessary.

📱 Overall, the new design has a cleaner aesthetic, with more of the Camera app's viewfinder visible on the screen compared to iOS 18.

ℹ️ A previous rumor indicated that iOS 18 would feature a visionOS-like redesign, but that never happened. An alleged screenshot of the Camera app with translucent menus even leaked a few months after that initial rumor, but it appeared to be fake. In the end, perhaps these are changes that Apple was working on for ‌iOS 19‌ instead.
