visionOS 2.2 beta 4 now available ahead of official release

A few weeks after releasing visionOS 2.2 beta 3 to developers, Apple has launched its fourth test build. Unlike the tame visionOS 2.1 update, this new version brings a much-anticipated feature: wider Mac virtual display options.

Mac Virtual Display is one of the OG features of Apple Vision Pro. However, with new wide and ultra-wide modes, the spatial computer offers a more immersive experience.

Here’s what this feature is:

Using Mac Virtual Display is like having an extendable ultra-wide screen surrounding you. It’s the equivalent of having two 4K screens side by side: everything looks incredibly sharp and incredibly detailed.

Now with an ultra-wide view, Apple says you feel like you have two physical 4K displays side by side on a desk, except there’s nothing restricting the two displays. This Apple Vision Pro feature is perfect for anyone who multitasks on a Mac, and it’s better than having multiple floating windows.

With this feature, you can open multiple apps at once and view them in front of you with Vision Pro’s incredible displays. Not only will this increase productivity, but it will also make this space computer a more compelling upgrade than two Studio displays, because you’ll be able to use it for more than just mirroring your Mac once you’re done working.

Apple is expected to expand Mac Visual Display in early December when visionOS 2.2 is expected to be released to all users. Although rumors regarding a new Vision Pro are conflicting, the latest reports expect Apple to update this product next year with a more efficient processor, probably the M5.

However, a reorganized interaction will still be a few years away. At the moment, Apple has only released visionOS 2.2 beta 4 for Apple Vision Pro developers. We’ll let you know if any more betas or RCs are released this week.
