Apple Seeds Third visionOS 2.1 Update to Developers

Apple today seeded the third beta of an upcoming visionOS 2.1 update to developers for testing purposes, with the new software coming a week after Apple seeded the second visionOS 2.1 beta.

visionOS 2 Feature 1
Registered developers are able to opt into the betas by opening up the Settings app on their device, going to the Software Update Section, tapping on the "Beta Updates" option, and toggling on the Developer Beta. Note that an Apple ID associated with a developer account is required to download and install the beta.

There's no word yet on what's included in visionOS 2.1, but there are visionOS 2 features that Apple has not yet released, such as the option to use a larger ultrawide screen for the Mac Virtual Display and support for Multiview for MLS and MLB games.

Pretty sad, isn’t it. Every single day. This forum could be so much better if the comments were intelligent and thoughtful.

Need this Monitor thing
Yes, Bora Bora and the new hand gestures are not enough. But the widescreen monitor would really help me travel with a smaller MBP.

Yah, sour grapes. I've finally moved past the emotional attachment and can see these negative posts for what they are.

I applaud Apple for their bold entrance into the headset market. Had they played the card that the negative crowd chimes, those folks would just find other things to complain about. So while the high price might be out of reach for most average consumers, we can be proud that Apple has a greater vision and is plowing a path that we have yet to fully see. Good times ahead!
