Apple Intelligence is coming to the Vision Pro — just not this year

When Apple Intelligence was unveiled earlier this month, it was only promised for the Mac, iPhone and iPad. However, it is coming to the Apple Vision Pro, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says in his latest “Power On” newsletter. 

“I’m told that Apple is actively working on bringing the features to the device, but it won’t happen this year. From a technology standpoint, the headset has more than enough memory (16 gigabytes) to run the technology,” he writes. “And the features, including notification prioritization, writing tools, an OpenAI chatbot and the new Siri, make sense for the headset — especially if Apple continues to position the Vision Pro as a device for getting work done and handling computer tasks.”

Gurman says this shouldn’t be a major engineering task, given that visionOS is a variant of the existing iPadOS software. The bigger challenge will be getting the user interface design team to make it all look right in the mixed-reality environment, he adds.
