Apple’s most expensive consumption equipment finally obtains Apple Intelligence. The latest Visionos 2.4 update, which becomes available as a beta developer today (February 18, 2025), brings Apple’s artificial intelligence brand to vision pro devices, although for the moment, it is only For English American devices.
This decision instantly helps to better position the space computer platform compared to the next Moohan Project project, a mixed reality device from Google, Samsung and Qualcomm which promises to put Google Gemini at the center of the experience. Apple’s decision also reduces a certain frustration of the professional vision owners who wondered why Apple’s most advanced consumption technology was missing from a functionality on all models of the iPhone 16, many iPads and MacBooks.
As has often been the case with the deployment of Apple Intelligence, the update does not include all the features that you will probably find soon on iOS 18.4 iPhones. However, it understands more than what we have obtained on the initial deployment of the iPhone Apple Intelligence.
New key features include:
- Writing tools on native pro vision applications
- Genmojis
- Image Games Area
- Chatppt access
Most importantly, these features will integrate into native functions of pro vision, including voice and gestures.
What is missing here is any type of SIRI update beyond the current features of digital assistants, an exclusion that could frustrate some. On the other hand, now that Apple has opened the door to the Apple Intelligence on Vision Pro, many updates will follow.
So, whatever the SIRI features you see in the iPhone 16 with iOS 18.4, they end up arriving on vision pro. We are impatient to see a conscious version of the activities on the mixed reality headset and that we can take intelligent measures according to what it sees through the multiple cameras and sensors of the device (something we expect from Project Moohan, whenever he is finally dispatched).
With the Visionos 2.4 update, users will be able to use vocal prompts to request writing changes like “more friendly” and they will obtain aid for rewriting and rereading. Playground image will be integrated into messages, just like iOS. Intelligent responses will be able to examine the content of a message thread and create a contextual response. And you can use vocal prompts to create films memories. These obviously exist on the iPhone, but can take a new dimension thanks to the immersive field of vision of pro vision.
Ease and access
Apple also provides several other modifications to better connect your iPhone and Vishmo experiences. The most notable could be the new vision pro application on iOS, a public service that Apple should probably have to deliver when launching the helmet over a year ago.
Consider the application as similar in some respects to the Watch iPhone application.
The Vision Pro application acts both as a promotional tool for Fresh Vision Pro content and spatial experiences, but also as a place where you can take distant actions. You can, for example, use the application to add films to Watchlists, trigger application downloads and learn details on your headset, such as serial number, software version and prescription for your Zeiss lens inserts (if you have). The application should arrive with iOS 18.4 and only settles if the system knows that you have a professional vision.
Apple seems to do a lot of work to broaden the pro Vision tent. To this end, the guest mode obtains a precious update which should facilitate the sharing process. With Visionos 2.4, professional vision owners can simply give someone their professional vision. When the guest puts it, a message appears on the iPhone or iPad of the Vision Pro owner, allowing them to activate sharing from there and choose the applications to be shared.
Inside Vision Pro, users will find a new space gallery application offering organized spatial content, including photos, videos and panoramas, cutting several genres such as sports, entertainment and travel.
Without a doubt, this is one of the most important upgrades of pro vision, and a large part is designed to help the helmet to better compete with the coming devices of Google, Samsung, Meta and others. None of this deals with the high price of $ 3,499.99, but at least there are now even more good reasons to invest.
