Apple Seeds Second Beta of visionOS 1.2 to Developers

[MacRumors]

Apple today released the second beta of an upcoming visionOS 1.2 update to developers, allowing them to test new features ahead of the software seeing a public launch. The second visionOS 1.2 beta comes two weeks after the release the first beta.

The visionOS beta can be downloaded by going to the Settings app on the device and toggling on developer betas. A registered developer account is required, and Apple recommends making a backup before installing new software.

Apple may make further improvements to Personas, EyeSight, and other features with visionOS 1.2, but no major new additions were found in the first beta.

The amount of comments on here for Vision Pro really I think shows how much volume Apple has produced. Hoping V OS 2.0 is amazing as I like the current iteration but there is a lot more I think it could do.

I'm on the 1.2 beta and really didn't notice anything new. I assume it's going to be bug fixes and optimizations until WWDC. So probably not a lot to comment on between now and then. But I'm hoping for a lot on June 10th!

It’s not because it can’t be good either. It’s because Apple doesn’t allocate sources well enough. I can’t say that the tracking is perfect. But it’s pretty darn good.

It just needs more support and Apple kinda priced it a bit high. They really need a products guy driving the company! Can’t say that enough

I have been bound to bed for the last two weeks. This has been game changer for me. I have been wearing it for 6 to 8 hours a day without any problems.

similar announcements for iOS, that would be the operating system for iPhones, heard of them, got 5 comments at this time. Five. Is everyone returning their phones or is this just a topic no one cares to comment on?

Did you seriously come to that conclusion based upon the number of responses to an article that indicates a new software version? Just what kind of responses were you looking for? To quote you, "me thinks" that the tone of the post is more of an illogical attempt to denigrate a product and it's owners than anything else.

And a minimally keen observer would realize that one big reason for limited responses are that so many AVP owners have largely stayed away for the site. We are simply sick and tired of trying to read any AVP related topic and finding the thread littered with hateful and insulting comments against AVP and it's owners.

I’ve replied to posts asking if and how people are still using their Vision Pro. I try to give a balanced take on the pros and cons, as well as how I actually find it useful. The response is almost always a diatribe on “why it ducks and is destined to fail”. From people who obviously haven’t used one themselves. So yeah, I’ve mostly stopped posting as well.
