This is a strange take given that the headset supports iPad apps (like the Netflix iPad app) by default, no “bothering with it” necessary.

iPads run iPhone apps by default, but it's terrible. How does Vision Pro running iPad apps compare?

On another hand, ARM Macs can run some iOS/iPad apps, and plenty of them work great and with zero issues. Not all, ofc, but many do. I think it’s because of zero expectations of them having to fill the entirety of your screen, so you just have it running in a window on your desktop, and it is quite good.

I would assume the situation with Vision Pro would be closer to Macs running iPhone/iPad apps, as opposed to iPads running iPhone apps. Mostly because of a similar “desktop with windows” feel I get from visionOS videos I’ve seen, as opposed to the “smartphone experience” feel i get on both iPadOS and iOS. Until I get my own hands on a VisionPro unit next week, this is just pure speculation though.

John Gruber says they work great. I guess we will see.

I believe it’s up to developers whether iPad apps work on Vision, and Netflix isn’t even doing that.
