Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC25) has concluded with a slew of exciting software updates for its operating systems, including iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, and visionOS. The new suite of OS releases comes under the ’26’ version numbering umbrella.
The first beta of Xcode 26, which serves as the primary development tool for building apps on these new platforms, now features a “Vision Pro 4K” simulator. Notably, this updated simulator is only available in the latest version of visionOS 26 and reflects the increased resolution output compared to previous versions.
The name change from “Apple Vision Pro” to “Apple Vision Pro 4K” has sparked speculation about potential hardware updates for the Apple Vision Pro headsets. However, it appears that the new naming convention is actually related to the simulator’s ability to produce 4K resolutions.
These developments come ahead of the expected release of Apple’s next-generation visionOS operating system, which will be built upon these updated platforms. As developers eagerly await the official launch of Xcode 26 and its accompanying OS updates, they can look forward to exploring new features and capabilities in their apps.
