Apple hasn’t given us a precise release date for its recently unveiled Vision Pro mixed reality headset. As with many of its other products, Apple did not feel confident enough to declare a precise delivery date at its introduction at the Worldwide Developer Conference 2023 (WWDC 2023) event, even though it did showcase the product and announce a $3,499 launch price. Apple simply promised us a release date of “early next year,” leaving many fans to speculate as to whether or not such a device will materialize as planned.
But a more recent source addressed the situation by stating that China is now producing a larger quantity of Apple’s Vision Pro headset. According to the same report, the units would be prepared by January and available for shipment by February. According to a more current research note, Apple’s mixed reality headset should be on sale by February, according to renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
Among other things, Kuo states in his research note that Apple’s “most important product of 2024” will be the Vision Pro headset. He continues by saying that up to 500,000 Apple devices are anticipated to be shipped in 2024. According to Kuo, these units are now in mass production and will start delivering in large quantities by the first week of January 2024.
Although Apple has not yet confirmed or disclosed the release date, Kuo predicts that the Vision Pro will be available in stores by the end of January or the beginning of February. This window is, in fact, smaller than the unclear one that Apple offered. Apple is reportedly teaching its shop staff how to use and demonstrate its new Vision Pro headset, even though production appears to be proceeding as planned.
According to reports, the Apple Vision Pro will first be made available to users in the US before being released more widely in other nations. The ‘spatial computer,’ which is among Apple’s priciest devices to date, essentially enables users to interact with a virtual user interface overlaying the physical world in front of them. The device is powered by visionOS, which has the ability to operate the user’s hands, eyes, voice, and two ultra-high-resolution displays. The headset is designed to be used for work as well as leisure. The Vision Pro is anticipated to have a sizable app store when it launches, ideally with a wide selection of apps for consumers to test out. The headset has two power options: it can be powered for up to two hours by plugging it into a power source or using an external battery pack for a more mobile experience.
