As launch day for Apple’s Vision Pro approaches on Feb. 2, the company shared which video streaming apps will be accessible on day one. Netflix is noticeably missing from the list, and according to Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman, the streaming giant purportedly did not create a native app for the VR headset, nor will it support its iPad version. 

Rather, Netflix is urging Vision Pro users to stream its content on a web browser such as Safari. Though it’s one of the few major streaming platforms that will not have a presence in the app store, Apple is touting the inclusion of Disney Plus, Max, Tubi, ESPN, NBA, MLB, Paramount Plus, Peacock, Pluto TV, Fubo, Crunchyroll, IMAX, TikTok and others. Disney Plus offers an immersive viewing experience using visionOS that allows you to watch select…

To determine the best VPNs for Netflix, our team at Forbes Advisor tested 16 VPNs and scored them on eight primary factors. We considered each VPN’s privacy and security features, streaming capability, speed and performance, server capacity and compatibility with various systems and devices.

We also examined their costs, how many device connections they allow on each account, users’ experience with them, how well they support users who need help and what experts have to say about them. We weighted these metrics to score each Netflix VPN.

Virtual and augmented reality tech is everywhere at CES 2024, with Netflix offering its own immersive experience at this year’s event. Though it may seem like the streaming service has plans to roll out its own branded VR headset, it’s actually an interactive exhibit for 3 Body Problem, a new sci-fi series slated for release this spring. The company dropped a short teaser — complete with logistical coordinates for a CES showroom in Las Vegas — urging audiences to learn more. 

Based on Liu Cixin’s book trilogy Remembrance of Earth’s Past, which includes the novel The Three-Body Problem, the upcoming show blends mystery, science and drama while hopping across timelines and locations.

Netflix first shared a sneak peek during Geeked Week in November that revealed a shiny chrome headset…

The account-sharing crackdown that Netflix announced almost a year ago and started implementing in the spring has yet to scare most account borrowers into paying up. But it probably makes business sense anyway, according to a new survey from MoffettNathanson.

That market-research firm commissioned Publishers Clearing House (yes, the company does things besides run a sweepstakes that sends giant replica checks to people’s front doors) to survey 19,000 Americans in Q3 about their usage of the video-streaming service. The first takeaway: Most Netflix viewers watch by the rules.

A full 77% of respondents say they only use their own account, while 8% sometimes lean on somebody else’s subscription (the report doesn’t get into why), and 14% only watch on other people’s accounts.
