Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) to Launch AI on Vision Pro
Apple (AAPL) announced its artificial intelligence tool Apple Intelligence is coming to its mixed-reality headset Vision Pro in April. Initially Apple Intelligence will be available in beta on visionOS 2.4 with support only for U.S. English, but the company said it plans to roll out more features and support for additional languages throughout the year. The app will appear for Vision Pro users when they update their iPhone to iOS 18.4, and it can also be downloaded from the App Store.

Apple Teases Tools
“Apple Vision Pro is helping users communicate, collaborate, and experience entertainment in entirely new ways — and we’re continuing to push the boundaries of what’s possible in spatial computing with visionOS 2.4,” said Mike Rockwell, Apple’s vice president of the Vision Products Group.
Apple said the updated AI features will enable users of the $3,499 Vision Pro headset to proofread, rewrite, and summarize text using Writing Tools, as well as compose text from scratch using ChatGPT. Features also include the Image Playground and emoji creator tool Genmoji. It will also feature Smart Reply in Messages and Mail so Apple Vision Pro users can more easily respond to texts and emails.
The tech giant also teased Spatial Gallery, a new app that features a selection of spatial photos, videos and panoramas, with content at launch from the likes of photographers Jonpaul Douglass and Samba Diop, as well as stories from brands like Cirque du Soleil, Red Bull, and Porsche.
At the same time, Apple said its AI features will soon be available in more languages, including French, German, Italian, Portuguese – Brazil, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese – simplified, as well as localized English for Singapore and India. The new languages will be ready in nearly all regions around the world with the release of iOS 18.4, iPadOS 18.4, and macOS Sequoia 15.4 in April.
It comes as Apple says it will spend more than $500 billion in the U.S. over the next four years, with plans including a new factory in Texas, doubling the U.S. Advanced Manufacturing Fund, and accelerated investments in AI and silicon engineering.
