Gurman highlights three main features that will be exclusive to the second-generation Apple Vision Pro:
- Multiple Mac Desktop Screens: Currently, when connected wirelessly to a Vision Pro, users can only view one Mac desktop screen at a time. The upcoming iteration will enable users to simultaneously view multiple desktop screens, enhancing productivity and multitasking capabilities.
- FaceTime Conference with Multiple Personas: The first-generation Apple Vision Pro will only support one-on-one FaceTime calls with Personas, the customizable avatars introduced by Apple. The second generation, however, will enable FaceTime conferences with several Personas, allowing for more interactive and engaging group conversations.
- Enhanced Fitness+ Workouts: While the initial release of Apple Fitness+ on the Vision Pro will include meditation sessions, the second generation will introduce virtual fitness content. Users will have access to immersive workouts that integrate AR technology, providing a more dynamic and interactive fitness experience.
In preparation for the product’s launch, Apple has been conducting tests and offering demos to its employees and analysts. Feedback from these tests has revealed a couple of concerns. Some users have expressed dissatisfaction with the headset’s weight, stating that it feels too heavy after a few hours of continuous use. Additionally, a few users reported experiencing motion sickness, although Gurman notes that this issue appears to be less severe compared to competing headsets.
