Apple Vision Pro’s virtual keyboard won’t be great at launch

Apple’s virtual keyboard in visionOS

In the market for one of the relatively few Apple Vision Pro units that will be available to pre-order on Friday, January 19, at 8am EDT / 5am PST and want to type? You’re going to want a real bluetooth keyboard, not the virtual one built into visionOS.

Mark Gurman via X:

The Vision Pro virtual keyboard is a complete write-off at least in 1.0. You have to poke each key one finger at a time like you did before you learned how to type. There is no magical in-air typing. You can also look at a character and pinch. You’ll want a Bluetooth keyboard.


MacDailyNews Take: This is a first generation product. As with the Mac, iPod, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch before it, not everything will be finely polished.
