Netflix Won’t Offer Apple Vision Pro App at Launch

Netflix has no plans to release an app for Apple’s upcoming Vision Pro headset, according to Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman. The streaming service will still be accessible through Safari and other web browsers on the headset.

“Our members will be able to enjoy Netflix on the web browser on the Vision Pro, similar to how our members can enjoy Netflix on Macs,” a Netflix spokesperson told Gurman.

In a July 2023 edition of his Power On newsletter, Gurman said Netflix would “still let its iPad app run on the headset unmodified,” but he now says the streaming service will not offer an app of any kind on the Vision Pro at launch.

Apple recently announced various video and sports apps that will be available on the Vision Pro at launch, including Disney+, ESPN, MLB, PGA Tour, Max, Discovery+, Amazon Prime Video, Paramount+, Peacock, Pluto TV, Tubi, Fubo, Crunchyroll, Red Bull TV, IMAX, TikTok, and MUBI. There is also MLS Season Pass in the Apple TV app.

Vision Pro pre-orders begin Friday in the U.S., and the headset launches February 2.
