We’ve had consumer VR headsets on the market for 8 years now (Oculus Rift CV1). Why would apps suddenly start appearing now, what makes Apple so different?

- password54321 3y agoPeople actually spend money on the App Store.
- symlinkk 3y agoNot everything is going to be a repeat of the iPhone, lol.
- password54321 3y agoApp store = entire Apple ecosystem.
- symlinkk 3y agoOh why haven’t Apple Watch apps taken off then? Or what about the macOS App Store, why is that dead?
- password54321 3y agosigh, you seem to be lacking basic knowledge in this area. I can buy/download an app for my iPhone and have it available on Watch/iPad/iPhone/Mac. There was 90 billion dollars spent on the app store last year alone and it is only increasing.
- symlinkk 3y agoBreak down that 90 billion by iPhone vs Watch / iPad / Mac. I guarantee 99% is coming from iPhone. Their other stores haven’t taken off.
- thefreeman 3y agoBut OP just said apple doesn't want anyone to buy them. Why would developers invest a bunch of time making apps for a device nobody has?
- PaulHoule 3y agoPeople spend money on apps (mostly games) from the Quest store.
- password54321 3y agoThe vision pro is being built on top of an already large and successful ecosystem. The Quest store is literally just for the Quest that has nowhere near as many customers.
