Suppose you’re looking to snag an Apple Vision Pro headset upon its release. In that case, you’ll need to make an appointment and it’ll initially only be available through a limited number of Apple Stores. The purpose of this is to ensure a correct fit for customers and to work around any prescription glasses they have.
According to Bloomberg, the device will expand both nationally and internationally in late 2024. Each of Apple’s US stores will ultimately have an area devoted to the Vision Pro, with demo units, accessories, and seating.
The Bloomberg article also noted that Apple is apparently developing both an iPhone app and a physical device where each will scan a person’s head prior to purchase. However, these features are said to be coming first to the largest stores, or ones in key locations such as Los Angeles and New York. A nationwide rollout should follow shortly afterward.
It’s also been noted that the Vision Pro headset will be sold through the online Apple Store in early 2024, and then expand to other, unspecified, online stores, but the publication says that will not include third-party resellers until at least 2025.
Unspecified sources have stated that the UK and Canada are being discussed as the first international markets, followed by Asia and Europe. No decision has been made about the countries it will be sold in, but it’s claimed that Apple is currently localizing the headset for France, Germany, Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, and Korea.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
