VisionOS 2 Launches Next Week, But Three Big Features Won’t Come Until “Later This Year”

Apple has confirmed that it’s launching VisionOS 2 on September 16, which comes with many of the teased features announced at WWDC in June. All three episodes are listed as “coming later this year” however. Here’s what you’ll miss on Monday.

We’ve rounded up the list of VisionOS 2 features below, however three interesting features don’t have release dates:

Panoramic Presentation with Mac Virtual Display

This one we were really hoping would come with VisionOS 2, but we’ll have to wait a little longer. Later this year Apple will finally enable Mac Virtual Display for a more immersive screen experience, something the company says simulates two side-by-side 4K displays for improved multitasking.

It looks very simple. The video above shows the UI change from “Normal” to “Wide” and “Ultrawide” when using Mac Virtual Display, which can increase the rate of bringing Vision Pro (along with your Mac) to the store of coffee to find. work done.

Spatial Videos Support for Final Cut Pro

Apple announced back at WWDC that Final Cut Pro will finally play smoothly with MV-HVEC videos captured by Vision Pro, the iPhone 15 Pro, and now the entire iPhone 16 line with support for spatial video, photos and sound. At some point, Apple says you’ll be able to import and edit location videos in Final Cut Pro on your Mac, add “titles and deep effects,” and preview the final product in Vision Pro.

We haven’t seen it in action yet, but if Apple invests in enough hardware, we’re confident that we’ll have a clear editing and viewing experience that will be useful for workflow.

Apple TV Sports Multiview

Sometimes Vision Pro gets a Multiview feature in Vision Pro’s Apple TV app, putting it in line with Apple TV 4K capabilities.

The addition of Multiview means you’ll be able to watch up to five MLS or MLB games at the same time, with customizable layouts and the ability to switch between different game views. In the bathroom.
