The number of new Vision Pro apps has declined every month since the device went on sale in February 2024 .

Apple doesn't release stats on the number of apps that are available, and it's hard to tell how many new apps come out in any given month .

Many of the new apps and ideas for the Vision Pro are coming from independent developers, hacking on the weekends while holding down day jobs.

Vision Pro app gold rush has seen slower uptake than iPhone 's app boom.

Developers say Apple 's hardware is solid, developer tools are improving, and that the Vision Pro lays the groundwork for future software and hardware updates.

Apple has not said if it will update Vision Pro , but analysts say it is working on a successor.
