Adobe has brought its generative AI app, Firefly, to Apple’s Vision Pro, offering a tailored experience for VisionOS. Recognized for its text-to-image capabilities, Firefly empowers users to realize creative visions by generating and rendering artwork on expansive displays, arranging images in diverse contexts, and promising future features like wrap-around panoramas and 360-degree environments.
While Firefly typically requires generative credits, Adobe extends complimentary access to the text-to-image AI on Vision Pro until March. This move aligns with spatial computing, providing an exclusive creative platform for Vision Pro users.
According to a 9to5 Mac report, to ensure content transparency, Adobe automatically attaches and embeds "content credentials" to creations, functioning as open-source "nutrition labels." Detailed pricing and credit use information for Vision Pro will be disclosed post-March 1, 2024.
Although Firefly for Vision Pro is not yet on the App Store, its imminent release is anticipated. Adobe’s free Firefly plan includes 25 generative credits monthly, while the premium plan, offering 100 credits, is priced at $4.99 per month.

Adobe Lightroom Comes to Vision Pro Too
The integration of Firefly into Vision Pro elevates the creative potential of Apple’s mixed-reality headset, providing a dynamic environment for users to explore and express artistic visions innovatively.
Additionally, the native Adobe Lightroom photo editing app for Apple Vision Pro, announced in June, has been unveiled. The VisionOS Lightroom experience mirrors the iPad version, featuring a streamlined interface optimized for hand gesture navigation, per The Verge. While it may not surpass the desktop or iPad versions in functionality, the visual presentation promises a more engaging editing experience.

Hundreds Line Up for Apple Vision Pro in New York
Apple’s Vision Pro, its first new product in seven years, launched in US stores on Friday, Feb. 2. The mixed reality headset, blending virtual and augmented reality, is available at Apple Stores nationwide.
Apple’s New York City flagship shop had 200 people wait before the 8 a.m. debut, where CEO Tim Cook personally greeted them, as reported by CNN. Cook, a proponent of augmented reality, wants Vision Pro to embody the future of computing by mixing augmented and virtual realities.

Apple CEO Tim Cook speaks with customers as he attends the product launch for the Apple Vision Pro headset at the Apple Store in New York City on February 2, 2024. The Vision Pro, the tech giant’s $3,499 headset, is its first major release since the Apple Watch nine years ago.
Despite excitement, the headset comes with a hefty price tag of $3,499. Additional accessories, including prescription lens inserts starting at $149, reading lens inserts at $99, a $200 travel case, and a $50 battery pack holder, can escalate the total cost to $4,600. Cook’s challenge lies in substantiating the claim that Vision Pro is "the most advanced consumer electronics device ever created."
According to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, approximately 160,000 to 180,000 Vision Pro headsets were estimated to have been sold during the initial pre-order weekend last month.
Despite the consistency in shipping times during the first 48 hours, suggesting sustained demand from core enthusiasts, Vision Pro demand might taper off after the initial surge, a pattern often observed when new iPhone models sell out.
