Apple is launching new shows and movies that are filmed using Apple Immersive Video. This format uses 3D video, 8K resolution, and Spatial Audio to move viewers right into the center of the action.
Boundless
With Boundless, viewers embark on the trips they’ve only dreamed of as they meet inspiring people in extraordinary places. In “Hot Air Balloons,” viewers take to the skies over the otherworldly landscape of Cappadocia, Türkiye. In the next episode, “Arctic Surfing,” available this fall, viewers can flow with a group of intrepid surfers who have moved to a frigid region north of the Arctic Circle in search of wintry waves.
Wild Life
This August, Apple releases the second episode of Wild Life, which takes viewers to Kenya’s Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, where orphaned elephants find their footing in the care of their keepers, frolic in frothy mud baths, and form a chosen family with each other, their human companions, and the wild elephants that roam the lands beyond. Later this year, viewers will brave the deep with a bold group of divers in the Bahamas, who come face-to-face with apex predators and discover creatures much more complex than often portrayed.
Elevated
In the inaugural episode of Elevated, an aerial travel series that premieres this September, viewers will fly above volcanoes, climb up and over waterfalls, and discover untold natural wonders across the world’s longest island chain, Hawaii. In the next episode, available later this year, viewers will experience a crisp autumn in New England, with a stunning journey along winding coastlines and above breathtakingly beautiful rivers.
Submerged
Submerged, the first scripted short film captured in Apple Immersive Video will premiere this fall. Set during World War II, the action-adventure story brings viewers aboard a submarine as the vessel’s sailors struggle to survive a deadly torpedo attack. Written and directed by Academy Award winner Edward Berger, Submerged showcases the unique storytelling capabilities that are only possible with Apple Immersive Video on Apple Vision Pro.
2024 NBA All-Star Weekend
This fall, basketball fans will enjoy a unique perspective of the 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis with an immersive short film that features the Rising Stars, the Slam Dunk contest, the first-ever NBA vs. WNBA 3-Point Challenge with Sabrina Ionescu and Stephen Curry, and the All-Star Game.
An Immersive Experience from The Weeknd
The Apple Music Award-winning and seven-time diamond-certified artist The Weeknd returns to the spotlight with an immersive experience that will premiere exclusively on Apple Vision Pro later this year.
Red Bull: Big-Wave Surfing
Viewers will feel the power of the ocean like never before as elite surfers attempt to ride the barrel of the heaviest wave in the world off the remote coast of Teahupo’o, Tahiti. This piece is filming this summer and will be available later this year.
