After Two Years, the Apple Vision Pro Finally Has a YouTube App

The Vision Pro has finally received a crucial feature that was anticipated at its launch, marking a significant milestone in its development. This update enhances the device's functionality and user experience, exciting tech enthusiasts and industry observers alike.


Why did it take two years for YouTube to release a native app for Apple Vision Pro?
YouTube was absent at the Vision Pro's February 2024 launch, with Google recommending Safari use instead; third-party apps were removed for violating YouTube's terms, delaying a native visionOS app until now.[1][3][5]

What special features does the YouTube app offer on Apple Vision Pro?
The app supports subscriptions, playlists, watch history, YouTube Shorts, 3D, 360-degree, and VR180 videos, spatial video discovery, visionOS environments, gesture controls, and 8K playback on M5 models.[1][3][4]

Apple Card is moving to Chase, here’s everything we know

Apple has confirmed that Chase will replace Goldman Sachs as the issuer of Apple Card in about 24 months. This transition promises significant changes for users, as detailed by the publication. Stay tuned for updates on this development.


What happens to Apple Card benefits like cash back and no fees during the transition to Chase?
During the approximately 24-month transition period, Apple Card users can continue to earn up to 3% unlimited Daily Cash back on purchases, access Apple Card Monthly Installments, and enjoy the no-fee structure, with Mastercard remaining the payment network. However, Apple has indicated that additional details will be shared later, and benefits could potentially change after the transition.

Will the unique Apple Card statement and payment due dates change with the switch to Chase?
Currently, all Apple Card holders share the same statement and payment due date at the end of each month, which is uncommon in the industry and has contributed to customer support challenges. It is unclear if Chase will retain this uniform schedule or allow customizable due dates post-transition.
