HBO's Max Streaming Service to Natively Support Vision Pro at Launch

You'll soon be able to watch your favorite HBO shows on the Vision Pro, as streaming service Max will be available on Apple's mixed reality headset at launch. Formerly known as HBO Max, the service also offers content from CNN, the DC Universe, the Discovery Channel, the Food Network, HGTV, TBS, TLC, TNT, and more.

Max Formerly HBO Max
Apple last week confirmed that Max would be one of the entertainment options available on the Vision Pro, along with Apple TV+ and Disney+.

"Apple Vision Pro features ultra-high-resolution displays that deliver more pixels than a 4K TV for each eye, enabling users to watch movies and TV shows from Apple TV+, Disney+, Max, and other services on a screen that feels 100 feet wide with support for HDR content," said Apple, in a press release.

Max will natively support the visionOS operating system, allowing it to take full advantage of the Vision Pro's immersive capabilities. However, the exact design and functionality of the app remains to be seen.

Disney Plus Vision Pro
Disney CEO Bob Iger last year said Disney+ would also be available on the Vision Pro at launch, promising "deeply personal experiences." Its app will also natively support visionOS, and it will be prominently featured in the App Store on the Vision Pro.

Some other streaming services will likely be available on the Vision Pro at launch, but not all will natively support visionOS. For example, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said Netflix will simply offer its iPadOS app on visionOS without any modifications, at least to start. Apple said the Vision Pro is compatible with over one million iOS and iPadOS apps.

Vision Pro pre-orders begin in the U.S. this Friday, January 19 at 5 a.m. Pacific Time, and the headset launches on Friday, February 2.

Sadly when I drop those $3,499 on the headset it's highly likely that I won't have any money left for a Max subscription.

Awesome. I need to see the sports leagues get on board and really advance this. Imagine being able to put yourself at almost any angle during a live game. Could easily be achieved with the amount of cameras they already use in sports and the potential of adding more.

I have zero faith Warner Media. it took them months to get the Apple TV app to even work decently when they re-released it. HDR content didn’t work correctly, frame rate matching did not work. The app was an absolute mess. So I’ll believe it when I see it.

It’ll probably have huge black bars on movies when it shouldn’t. Lol.
