With the visionOS 2.4 update, Apple is making some major enhancements to the Vision Pro, and that includes a new Spatial Gallery app that's available in the beta as of today.
The Spatial Gallery houses spatial photos, spatial videos, and panoramas from artists, filmmakers, and photographers.
Apple is offering a range of content featuring sports, culture, arts, lifestyle, nature, travel, and entertainment, with plans to continue offering additional content in the future. Apple says it plans to provide visual content from top artists, visionary creators, and global brands.
Right now, the Spatial Gallery has options like sea life off of the coast of Southern California, a skydiving video from Red Bull Air Force, videos from ice climbing in Alberta, Canada, and a behind the scenes video from Severance. There are also a number of shot on iPhone spatial images to view.
The Spatial Gallery is available now for Vision Pro owners who have upgraded to the visionOS 2.4 beta.
visionOS 2.4 is set to see a public launch in April, and it will also bring new Apple Intelligence features.

The upcoming iOS 18.4 update for the iPhone includes a smaller but meaningful improvement for Apple's in-car iPhone mirroring system CarPlay.
Specifically, CarPlay now shows a third row of icons, up from two rows previously. However, this change is only visible in vehicles with a larger center display. For example, a MacRumors Forums member noticed the change in a Toyota Tundra with a...

Apart from their audio and noise-canceling performance, which are generally regarded as excellent for...

iPhones are finally getting a much-requested setting, but availability is limited.
The upcoming iOS 18.4 update introduces an option to set a default navigation app, other than Apple Maps, but unfortunately this new setting is limited to users in the EU. There, you can now set an app like Google Maps or Waze as your default navigation app on the iPhone by opening the Settings app and tapping ...

The Apple Intelligence features that Apple introduced with iOS 18 are not pushing people to upgrade their iPhones, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reiterated today. Apple's recent Siri failures are also going to have an impact on 2025 iPhone shipments, which the market is beginning to realize.
As early as last July, Kuo said expectations that Apple Intelligence could drive iPhone upgrades were...
Apple is set to release iOS 18.4 in early April, bringing further refinements to Apple Intelligence features, a neat new capability to iPhone 15 Pro devices, new emoji, and more.
While not quite as packed with new features as Apple's preceding iOS 18 point releases, iOS 18.4 still introduces enhancements that aim to make your iPhone smarter and more intuitive. Below, we've listed 12 new...
If you've been following iPhone rumors over the last few years, you may remember reading reports that Apple flirted with the idea of introducing a super high-end "Ultra" model that would either replace its Pro Max device or sit above it in Apple's smartphone hirearchy. These reports appeared in the pre-launch iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 rumor cycles, but ultimately came to nothing. Now though, the...
The very few people who bought the Gen1 HW can now dust off their devices ;l
Yes, I know: That revolutionary Apple Vision Pro is Apple's first spatial computer.
I still don't get most use cases and the battery life is abysmal.
The device still looks like a prototype that shouldn't have been released (or only released to developers).
Maybe I will try it again by Gen4 or Gen5 in 2030+ and at a retail price under $1000.
This article and thread are about a new app that is in beta for Vision Pro. Not sure why you’re rehashing complaints expressed at launch over a year ago.
Oh yes... Sitting in my room, in my dark corner, wearing my scuba mask to look at pictures all by myself is my favorite past time. Never mind showing anyone my private stash anymore unless they own their own scuba mask.
It is your free choice to do it or not to do it. You also are free "Mocking the morons" (citation from your signature), if you like to waste your precious time with it. It is all up to you. Just remember: Do not waste your life with things, you do not want to do. Just do the things, you really like.
Tried the "spatial video" on different headset and it really sucked. To me it's just a marketing gimmick.
So on a lower res device that Apple doesn't sell, Apple's Spatial Video sucks? Shocker. Let us know when you have tried it on the device Apple sells, the AVP. You might still think it sucks, but I don't. Looks promising to me.

Have you never used AVP or why do you sound ignorant?
Does the new app include your own content or is it all curated from Apple? I thought it was just from Apple but one article I read made it unclear. I’m super excited about this! Many thanks for the beta testers! ??
As there are "not professional" pictures in that gallery, I suppose, there might be an opportunity to submit your own content. There is no option to submit content (yet) as far, as I see.
