On the Vision Pro, Siri can answer questions about anything the wearer is looking at, and there's a new Siri orb that can be placed anywhere in wearer's virtual space.\n\nPanorama photos can be turned into spatial environments, and there's a new Icelandic Thórsmörk environment that features dramatic mountains, valleys, and glaciers, along with the northern lights. Web Environment support allows developers to create 360-degree environments in Safari for a more native Vision Pro browsing experience.\n\nApp windows are now curved to provide a more immersive workspace, and Control Center has been reorganized to make system controls easier to find. Apple added a smaller widget size, and notifications automatically expand when the wearer looks at them.\n\nMore on what's new in visionOS 27 is [listed in our Vision Pro roundup](https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-vision-pro/#visionos_27).\n\nThis article, \"[Apple Seeds Fifth visionOS 27 Beta to Developers](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/10/apple-seeds-fifth-visionos-27-beta-to-developers/)\" first appeared on [MacRumors.com](https://www.macrumors.com)\n\n[Discuss this article](https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apple-seeds-fifth-visionos-27-beta-to-developers.2486692/) in our forums", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/apple-seeds-fifth-visionos-27-beta-to-developers", "canonical_source": "https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/10/apple-seeds-fifth-visionos-27-beta-to-developers/", "published_at": "2026-08-10 17:06:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-11 03:14:38.893048+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-products"], "entities": ["Apple", "visionOS 27", "Siri", "Vision Pro", "ChatGPT", "Claude"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/apple-seeds-fifth-visionos-27-beta-to-developers", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/apple-seeds-fifth-visionos-27-beta-to-developers.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/apple-seeds-fifth-visionos-27-beta-to-developers.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/apple-seeds-fifth-visionos-27-beta-to-developers.jsonld"}}
