Apple streamed the first live MLB game in Vision Pro Immersive
Apple streamed its first live MLB game in Vision Pro Immersive on Aug 28, Yankees vs Red Sox at Yankee Stadium. The feed is a separate 8K production with about a 180-degree field of view, spatial audio, and dedicated announcers, not a TV wrap. Three more September dates remain. The $3,500–$4,100 headset, weight, and battery life still keep it niche. Claims about lapsed fans sitting through a full game are Brodie Brazil's read, not Apple's.
