Little by little, Apple’s spatial computing device has surprised with its uses, confirming that it has all the potential to[changethewayinwhichweinteractwithtechnologybutalso[changetheforminwhichinteractswithtechnologyperotambién[changerlafaçondontnousinteragissonsaveclatechnologiemaisaussi[cambiarlaformaenlaqueinteractuamosconlatecnologíaperotambiéncould change the App Store’s business.
According to a report shared by Appfigures, Half of Vision Pro-exclusive apps are paid downloads, far more than the iOS App Store. If it continues, this trend could change the way developers generate revenue without a subscription.
Apple Vision Pro apps could benefit developers more

In addition to the large group of paid downloads, 35% of Vision-exclusive apps are not monetized through the App Store and 13% offer subscriptions.
According to the analysis, All apps built for Vison Pro have an average price of $5.67, with the highest price of $98 (for an interactive periodic table of elements). Most apps They are priced at $9.99 or less. Purchasing all paid apps would cost $1,089.07,
According to a Tech Crunch article, app developers who adopt Vision Pro with unique native experiences created exclusively for Apple’s AR/VR platform are returning to the monetization model of paid downloads.
This attractive model has attracted attention from the developers of exclusive applications for the Vision Pro: Christian Selig, the developer of Juno, an exclusive YouTube client for Vision Pro, entered the top 10 in the photography and video category
Selig commented: “Juno has officially paid the price for my Vision Pro, who said it wouldn’t be worth developing early on this platform?”

This panorama could appeal to developers who want a new way to monetize without spending their customers on expensive subscriptionsalternatives to the requirements for releasing free apps with in-app purchases and subscriptions, which Apple has been promoting for years, despite all criticism to the contrary.
