Apple Intelligence, or Apple’s artificial intelligence features that are being brought to the Vision Pro headset before April 2025. This will be a news update that is supposed to make the device stronger and more attractive to the users.
In this article, we will discuss what new features were added in Vision Pro, why is Apple doing this, and Apple’s bigger AI plans.
Features to be added to Vision Pro
Apple’s Vision Pro will have AI-powered tools, planned to be included with a software update, according to Bloomberg. Features that make it key include:
- AI Assist – The writing tools will help users write and edit texts more efficiently.
- Genmojis – AI-generated emojis where you can create unique, custom expressions.
- Image Playground App – Allows users to make and amend images using AI.
It is part of Apple’s overall game plan to inject artificial intelligence into its products and compete with PCs from Google and Microsoft that incorporate artificial intelligence.
Why Is Apple Doing This in Vision Pro
However, since it launched in February 2024, the Vision Pro has not been able to sell as well as it could. Competition cheaper alternatives, the Microsoft Mixed Reality Headset, which costs RS 26,000, and Meta’s Quest headsets going for about RS 35,000 have made it hard to draw in more buyers for its RS 3,03,0000 price tag. Apple is looking to give Vision Pro a new lease of life, by adding advanced AI features that make the Vision Pro more functional, more useful, and more desirable for a wider range of users.
Can the Vision Pro Handle AI
Apple’s requirements for running its own Apple Intelligence also means an M2 processor with 16GB of RAM for the Vision Pro. As the AI features are designed on devices with A17 Pro or M series chips, the AI in the Vision Pro is therefore able to do it.
Nevertheless, this integration of AI into a mixed-reality device brings with it different challenges. Currently, Apple’s design team is trying to figure out how to make Writing Assist and Genmojis work in a 3D space that does not require a typing solution.
Apple’s Bigger AI Plans in Vision Pro
The Vision Pro is not the only thing Apple is investing in. The addition of iPhones in China is part of a collaboration with Chinese tech giants Tencent and ByteDance, among others, to bring AI features to mobile devices in the country.
Apple is making products smarter overall across many markets by expanding its AI ecosystem through this move. The AI part of the Vision Pro update, however, is set to come as part of visionOS 3, a big software update planned for 2025.
Conclusion
If Apple Intelligence is added to the Vision Pro it will greatly improve what it can do to drive sales. Apple is making the headset more practical and interesting with AI-powered features such as Writing Tools, Genmojis, and the Image Playground App. Integrating AI could help soften the relatively high price of the Vision Pro but the initial outlay would still be a hurdle for most consumers.
Apple can turn this into a great voice-based and AI-powered mixed reality headset if it can adapt these features to an experience on a Vision Pro. This update may be a key step for Apple’s future products to incorporate artificial intelligence into the most important parts of its appliances.
