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.”

    You know they don’t need to develop custom apps right? They’ve even specifically disallowed their iPad app to run. That’s the action of a scared company.

      No… that’s the decision of company who doesn’t want to invest in a new platform. They’d rather disable the app than support the users there.
