Apple Vision Pro: new videos show how to use it

The Apple firm has had a busy schedule for several months. In September it launched its latest range of iPhone 15, but also that of its Apple Watches. Then, less than two months after that, it was the turn of MacBook Pros equipped with the new Apple Silicon M3 chip to appear on the market.

These numerous launches have taken up space in the firm's media space and have overshadowed Apple's biggest challenge in recent years, which is the Vision Pro. Unless there is an unexpected surprise, there should no longer be a launch large enough to overshadow Apple's mixed reality headset.

Therefore, it would not be surprising in the coming months to see Cupertino put us more and more in suspense, until the fateful moment of the release. Waiting for,9to5Macwas able to retrieve two videos from the latest beta of VisionOS, the headset's operating system.
