The visionOS beta can be downloaded by going to the Settings app on the device and toggling on developer betas. A registered developer account is required, and Apple recommends making a backup before installing new software.

Apple may make further improvements to Personas, EyeSight, and other features with visionOS 1.2, but no major new additions were found in the first two betas.

I agree with you there! I think they’re saving it for WWDC at this point. They could at least be converting their own apps to be visionOS native. How are Word, Excel, OneNote and Teams native while Numbers and Pages are not?! And Maps seems like it could have an incredible immersive mode. Hopefully in June …
I can understand the first OS being limited. Internal teams probably didn’t have a chance to work on it due to confidentiality.

But if this June they don’t have at least 10+ truly exceptional things for VisionOS2.. well we know for sure AVP is getting abandoned like homepod..

Sigh..IK.. but it’s a brand new product category, and an OS in its first major version. There’s so much to improve and innovate on

It’s a beta, it’s probably worse

1.2 fixed an issue introduced in 1.0 causing me to have to recalibrate the eye tracking just about every other day. It was totally worth it for me.
