Vision Pro: BBC Proms Live
Apple added a new Immersive Video of the BBC Proms to the Apple TV app for Vision Pro, offering a front‑row, spatial‑audio concert experience for headset owners. Separately, Apple settled a trade‑secrets lawsuit with a former engineer over Vision Pro material — a reminder of how strategically high‑stakes the headset remains. (macrumors.com) (theverge.com)
“Debut at the BBC Proms” captures pianist Lukas Sternath’s Proms debut performing Edvard Grieg’s Piano Concerto in A minor with the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Sakari Oramo at London’s Royal Albert Hall. (tv.apple.com) The film was produced by Livewire Pictures and was shot with Blackmagic Design’s URSA Cine Immersive cameras, part of a slate Apple previewed last September that also noted editing on Mac using DaVinci Resolve Studio. (macrumors.com) (apple.com) Apple’s Apple TV listing describes the release as the platform’s first classical-music title in the Immersive format and the experience places viewers inches from the pianist while surrounding them with orchestral spatial audio. (tv.apple.com) Apple filed the trade-secrets suit against former design engineer Di Liu on June 24, 2025 in Santa Clara County, alleging Liu downloaded “a massive volume” of confidential Vision Pro files and uploaded folders to a personal iCloud account in the days before his November 2024 departure. (9to5mac.com) (cnbc.com) The case was dismissed this week after Liu reached a settlement with Apple in which he agreed to return confidential materials and to pay an undisclosed sum, according to reports. (theverge.com) (9to5mac.com) Court filings and reporting note Liu had worked at Apple from September 2017 through November 2024 on Vision Pro hardware and design, then joined Snap for roughly seven months before leaving the company the same month Apple’s lawsuit became public.
