The best thing about this is that it means visionOS 2.2 with the Mac ultra-wide screen is closer to coming to beta. That's what every Vision Pro owner is waiting for. Nobody cares about 2.1!

I didn’t even bother powering it up earlier this week for beta five

I might power the device up next week when the official release candidate comes out

I just don’t use this thing any it’s just too much of a pain in the ass and the battery sucks

By the way, where’s our widescreen support? They promised us forever ago.
