The Apple Vision Pro Headset: Preorders Begin on Friday
If you’re eager to get your hands on the first-generation Apple Vision Pro headset, you’re in luck. Preorders for this long-awaited spatial computing headset are set to begin on Friday. The headset offers immersive apps, games, and media, but it comes with a hefty price tag.
The Basics: Preorder Details and Pricing
Apple will open preorders for the Vision Pro headset on Friday, January 19 at 8am ET. The headset is priced at $3,499 and will be delivered starting February 2. It seems that you’ll need an iOS device to order online, as an iPhone or iPad is required to use FaceID for a precise fit.
What Comes with the Apple Vision Pro?
The Apple Vision Pro comes with 256GB of internal storage and includes multiple band options for the best fit. It also comes with a Light Seal, Light Seal Cushions, a cover, polishing cloth, battery pack, wall adapter, and USB-C cable. Additionally, optional ZEISS snap-in lenses are available for reader and prescription lenses.
Try the Apple Vision Pro at Apple Stores
Starting from February 2, Apple will offer try-on experiences at its retail stores. However, appointments will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Expect a lengthy try-on session that includes scanning your face for the best fit and potentially snapping in lenses that match your glasses prescription.
Hot Take: Should You Order the Apple Vision Pro?
If you want to be among the early adopters of the Apple Vision Pro headset, you’ll have to preorder it without trying it out first. While the price point and lack of a substantial audience for ultra-premium mixed-reality headsets may deter some buyers, others may be enticed by the immersive experience it offers. Consider your budget and preferences before making a decision.
