If you don’t have Apple Vision Pro yet, but want to see what apps are available for the headset before you buy, Apple just made your life easier. On Friday, March 16, the company quietly launched the web version of the App Store for visionOS.
Getting to the web-based App Store for visionOS is easy because it’s accessible from Apple’s home page. First spotted by 9to5Mac , once you get to the new experience, you’ll see most things about an app just like you would on a Mac App Store, iPhone, or iPad App Store listing on the web. This means you’ll see screenshots and screenshots of the running app and be able to browse curated collections like “What’s New,” “Hot This Week.” and “Best Apps for Apple Vision Pro.” You can even see iPad and iPhone apps running on Vision Pro. You can see a sample list for Amaze VR Concerts: Immersive 3D below.
Note that you’ll still see changelogs and what’s new, ratings and reviews, and app privacy and app developer information. Apps available only for Apple Vision Pro have a label at the top that says “This app is only available for Apple Vision Pro.”
Considering that the Apple Vision Pro only launched a month and a half ago, Apple’s launch of a web-based experience for the handset App Store is quite a big one. It will give developers more space to present their applications. Before purchasing a headset, customers can also factor app availability into their purchasing decisions.
