Apple Vision Pro's visionOS will not get an overhaul at WWDC

The forthcoming visionOS 2.0 for Apple Vision Pro at WWDC will not be as significant an update as expected, but will address issues and bring new environments.

Apple has been testing visionOS 2.0 since at least January 2024, but a new report suggests that its version number won't bring the changes that a whole number update implies. It will, though, offer more than the minor updates that the latest visionOS 1.2 has seen.

According to Bloomberg, visionOS 2 — codenamed Constellation — is chiefly concerned with making the Apple Vision Pro software smoother and more polished. There won't be dramatically new features or revisions to existing ones.

However, it is still expected that the new Apple Passwords app will come to the headset. So should more visionOS native versions of iPad apps.

It's also expected that Apple will launch new immersive environments for Apple Vision Pro.

Apple will unveil visionOS 2.0 for Apple Vision Pro during its keynote video at the start of this year's WWDC on June 10, 2024.

Yes but if Apple takes the iOS shackles off iPad OS that will benefit Vision

Vision Pro is hobbled by its reliance on replicating a single Mac screen. We don't need screens, we need to be able to place, manage, and stack individual windows.

They probably just mean while using your Mac with it? It's still quite limited to do a lot of tasks with currently on and far from a Mac replacement (so a good Mac workflow is pretty important with it)

I believe they are referring to the AVP only shows you your connected Mac as a single window vs being able to interact with multiple Mac apps/different windows individually. Which is definitely something that could be improved.
