Over 200,000 units sold

Happy Friday! I’ve searched long and hard across the vast internet plains for some news. 

So sit back and enjoy: 

🍎 Apple has updated its iconic NYC store ahead of the Vision Pro launch.

🛸 Remember the Pixy drone? Well, Snap is recalling every single one it sold. 

🧵 Threads has now reached 130 million users, according to Meta.

Today’s the day. The Apple Vision Pro officially launches to the masses after selling over 200,000 units in pre-order and the company has already given its flagship NYC store a makeover to commemorate the event. 

A new platform means new apps, and according to Apple, the device is set to launch with over 600 apps and games on day one. 

Unsurprisingly, makers on Product Hunt are getting their slice of the pie. Here’s a selection of Vision Pro apps built by the maker community: 

Juno is a YouTube client for the Vision Pro built by Christian Selig, the same maker behind Apollo for Reddit. It’s a one-time payment of $5, and you can do things like resize windows, drag to scrub, and double pinch to move the video forward or backward in ten-second intervals. 

Bezel transports your phone into your new AR world. It mirrors your phone screen in real-time to your Vision Pro environment as a realistic 3D model that dynamically adjusts to different lighting scenarios. 

Lifelight is like an AI-powered journal that you can interact with in the Vision Pro. It listens to your life story and records key moments so you can go back in time and relive them. Its priority is immersion. Things like weather and sounds related to your memories play as you cycle through them. 

Navi for Vision Pro brings the live translation powers of the original app to Apple’s new headset. It translates and captions what others are saying live in a speech bubble interface.
