The first scripted immersive video short film for Apple Vision Pro has finally been revealed and it looks terrifying. 

Set on a sinking World War II submarine, Submerged “showcases the unique storytelling capabilities that are only possible with Apple Immersive Video” according to Apple’s latest press release. It follows a group of sailors trying to survive a torpedo attack and it is set to premiere this fall.

That’s not all

In addition to this, the press release shows off a whole host of other immersive video experiences coming to Apple Vision Pro this year. This includes Boundless, an experience set on a hot air balloon above Cappadocia, Turkiye. It is out today if you are lucky enough to own Apple’s $3,499 spatial headset. 

Premiering in August, Wild Life, a nature documentary exploring Kenya’s Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, is also coming to the headset. This is all about the baby elephants there, from how they live, to how they are cared for. 

Much like Boundless, new experience Elevated is all about seeing the world from up high and the first episode focuses on Hawaii. You can watch this in September. 

If you’re more of a sports fan, 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend is a short film focused on the NBA All-Star Weekend that happened in Indianapolis this year. It is due to release in the fall. 

From one weekend to The Weeknd, an immersive experience from the popular pop artist is due to launch later this year but very little is known about it thus far. 

Finally, Red Bull: Big-Wave Surfing is also coming out later this year and focuses on high-level surfers, riding the “heaviest wave in the world off the remote coast of Teahupo’o, Tahiti”. With so many interesting experiences, they are sure to really show off the power of Apple’s headset.

Originally buying a Macbook for music and video production, he has since gone on to join the Apple ecosystem with as many devices as he can fit on his person. 

With a degree in Law and Media and being a little too young to move onto the next step of his law career, James started writing from his bedroom about games, movies, tech, and anything else he could think of. Within months, this turned into a fully-fledged career as a freelance journalist. Before joining iMore, he was a staff writer at Gfinity and saw himself published at sites like TechRadar, NME, and Eurogamer. 

As his extensive portfolio implies, James was predominantly a games journalist before joining iMore and brings with him a unique perspective on Apple itself. When not working, he is trying to catch up with the movies and albums of the year, as well as finally finishing the Yakuza series. If you like Midwest emo music or pretentious indie games that will make you cry, he’ll talk your ear off.
