The biggest free ad-supported streaming service is now available on Apple Vision Pro. Tubi — the Fox-owned service that has more than 250,000 movies and TV episodes, and more than 250 live channels — can now be loaded onto Apple’s VR platform. It’s still free, and it still has ads, of course. And the inclusion on Apple Vision Pro brings the number of platforms Tubi supports to just shy of three dozen.

You can watch Tubi on Apple Vision Pro in the U.S., Australia, and Canada.

“Our mission is to ensure all people have access to all the world’s stories,” Mike Bidgoli, chief product and technology officer at Tubi, said in a press release. “We want to be wherever our viewers want us to be and deliver delight and personalized content to them in every touchpoint. That’s why we’re launching on Apple Vision Pro and remain focused on developing engaging experiences across the 30+ devices we support.”

Tubi is a bit of a hybrid in the FAST space, combining on-demand movies and series with dozens of linear channels. (And we can help with the best things to watch on Tubi.) Tubi says it has nearly 80 million monthly active users and hit a record high of 2% of total TV viewing time, according to Nielsen Gauge.

Apple Vision Pro is a $3,500 AR/VR headset that in addition to the countries named above also is available in France, Germany, and the U.K. Watching media on Apple Vision Pro essentially puts a huge screen right in front of your eyes, and it’s widely considered (by those who actually have Apple Vision Pro, anyway) to be an incredible way to watch anything. So long as you can afford it.

In the iOS 18.2 update, users are now able to play original instrument ideas through the iPhone’s built-in speakers while simultaneously recording vocals with the studio-quality microphone on the iPhone 16 Pro or Pro Max.

Apple Music has just doubled the number of its live hosted radio stations from three to six, with the addition of Apple Música Uno, Apple Music Club, and Apple Music Chill. The new stations are available now, from anywhere in the world. They join the existing radio lineup that includes the flagship Apple Music 1, Apple Music Country, and Apple Music Hits. Despite that they live under the Apple Music brand, you don't need an Apple Music subscription to access these stations -- they're available for free in the Apple Music app on both mobile and desktop platforms or on the web.

Apple Música Uno, as the name suggests, is a dedicated station for global Latin music, hosted at launch by Becky G. She'll be joined by fellow Latin stars Rauw Alejandro and Grupo Frontera, who will each host their own shows.
