    Netflix not jumping in both feet first on a hyped new platform means they’ve taken a gander and weren’t impressed. 

    Kind of like everyone else not selling apps for it. 

    The effort and engineering power going into the VP is astounding. Unfortunately, it’s just fundamentally flawed as a concept. 

    Yeah, that’s not what that means. Netflix has a history of being hostile towards Apple’s platforms.
    Actually,  I believe it’s because there is an unknown market for this kind of device, whether it costs $500 or $3500.  If the volume is not there, then the development is not there.

    There is one thing for sure, it will be interesting to see what happens with the device.  Some people on these forums are so excited that they think monitors and big screen TV’s are now obsolete and pointless LOL.  I do not share the excitement for these goggles. Instead, wondering if it will create a vertigo effect for some people.  I just don’t see myself wanting to sit or stand around with goggles.  Sorry,
    not feeling it..
    1) They had said they'd allow their iPadOS app. That wouldn't be as good as the Disney+ app, but it would be nothing to allow it be in the AVP App Store and a much better experience over having to type Netflix.com to access your account. with mouse-based controls and no ability to download to the local storage. It's hostile.

    2) Which users are saying that monitors are pointless and obsolete? Your comment sounds dubious.

    iPhone didn’t have an App Store when it came out. 
    And yet the iPhone did have Google Maps on it at launch, even without an app store.
    You can bet that if Apple thought a Netflix app was critical to AVP then some money would change hands and there would be a native app.
    I think the Map app on the iPhone 1 was developed by Apple, though it used data from Google Maps. The app itself was just called "Maps".

    I appreciate your willingness to announce how little you know. 
    Vision Pro runs iPad apps. Netflix has an app for the iPad. Engineering required to have a Netflix app on day one is zero. In fact Netflix had previously said they were going to offer it.  Seriously, trolling is not difficult, why do you struggle with such a mundane thing?

    Yeah, that's a very different scenario. Eric Schmidt was on Apple's board — which I never really understood since a lot of what Apple does intersects with Google directly — and Apple's built in Maps app used Google as their major mapping and direction APIs, as well as other sources for data. Even now Apple Maps and Google use plenty of other  companies' data they pull from.
