That page no longer lists the option to view an open sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More specifically, the phrase \u201cmagically replace your ceiling with a clear, open sky\u201d has been replaced by \u201cturn your room into a personal movie theater with the Cinema Environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence, it is clear at this point that Apple removed the feature deliberately. But the reason remains a question mark.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most plausible assumption would be Apple failed to polish the feature before the official launch or that the feature never worked as expected to begin with and was scrapped.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there\u2019s still a possibility of Apple adding it later in the future with a VisionOS update.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who knows what will happen ultimately, but currently, in all likelihood, you will not get the Open Sky Entertainment feature at launch, which is <a href=\"https:\/\/knowtechie.com\/apple-vision-pro-launch-announcement\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/knowtechie.com\/apple-vision-pro-launch-announcement\/\" data-lasso-id=\"550148\">set for February 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple Vision Pro starts at $3,499 in the configuration with 256GB of storage.
