2024-01-08
Arrr, me hearties! Apple be swearin' on their honor that the Vision Pro shall be available for ye to purchase in the early days o' 2024, and it seems to be sailin' smoothly on its course, just as they claimed. Yo ho ho!
After months of anticipation, it seems that the Apple Vision Pro mixed reality headset is finally going to go on sale. According to reliable Apple tipster Mark Gurman, a full launch is now "imminent" and stock is on its way to warehouses, ready to be sent to Apple Stores. It is expected that the headset will be available for purchase in February, and an announcement may be made this week to draw attention away from CES 2024.Gurman also reveals that selected representatives from Apple Stores are being trained on how to demonstrate and sell the Vision Pro, with training meetings for all retail staff planned for January 21. However, there are still many questions surrounding the headset, including how Apple will set pricing internationally. In the US, it will start at $3,499.
In the months since its unveiling, leaks have revealed the software interface and how the Vision Pro could be set up in stores. It is speculated that buyers may have to pick up the headset in a physical store, even if they order online, to ensure proper fitting and provide basic training.
One of the biggest selling points of the Vision Pro is its support for spatial video, which can be captured using the iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max. TechRadar had the opportunity to experience spatial video in the Apple Vision Pro in December and highly recommends it.
The Apple Vision Pro represents a major new product category for Apple, and there are already rumors of a second headset on the way. Tech enthusiasts eagerly await the release of the Vision Pro and look forward to upcoming reviews.
