Google’s YouTube and Spotify Technology SA, the world’s most popular video and music services, are joining Netflix Inc. in steering clear of Apple Inc.’s upcoming mixed-reality headset.

YouTube said in a statement Thursday that it isn’t planning to launch a new app for the Apple Vision Pro, nor will it allow its longstanding iPad application to work on the device. YouTube, like Netflix, is recommending that customers use a web browser if they want to see its content: “YouTube users will be able to use YouTube in Safari on the Vision Pro at launch.”

    They are the entire market. No one reasonable is buying anything over $100 that isn’t iPad. There’s nothing remotely competitive.

    Pretending $50 junk machines that break in months, can barely handle Facebook, and only exist in the third world is the same market is laughable.
