Apple Vision Pro headset is reportedly on the verge of being launched, with retail stores initiating final preparations for the device to hit the shelves. This information comes from Mark Gurman, a reliable source at Bloomberg, indicating that the highly anticipated headset is nearing its official release. As Apple continues its foray into the world of augmented reality and virtual reality, the Vision Pro headset is expected to mark a significant milestone in the company’s technological offerings.
In the latest “Power On” newsletter, Gurman said that the Vision Pro is now shipping in small quantities to warehouses across the United States ahead of direct distribution to Apple retail stores. While the company has not yet announced its release date, it apparently believes there will be sufficient stock ready in the country by the end of January to launch in February. Interestingly, Gurman expects Apple to make a Vision Pro-related announcement “in the next week or so” to “take some of the spotlight away from CES,” which starts on Tuesday, January 9.
On January 21, Apple is organizing an unusual three-hour meeting across all its stores in the United States. This meeting is expected to involve comprehensive training and an explanation of the sales procedure related to a new device, most likely the highly anticipated Vision Pro headset. Following this initial meeting, additional training sessions are reportedly planned in the subsequent days, and the stores will receive new inventory racks and backroom equipment. This synchronized effort suggests that Apple is gearing up for a significant product launch or announcement, creating anticipation among customers and enthusiasts. Apple Vision Pro headset
Mark Gurman, a reliable source at Bloomberg, has indicated significant progress towards the launch of Apple’s Vision Pro headset. Luxshare, the Chinese assembler responsible for the Vision Pro, reportedly conducted a delivery ceremony last month, marking the official shipment of completed products. Apple has purportedly filed design patents covering every hardware and software element of the device, indicating that the launch is imminent.
The specific details regarding the availability of the Vision Pro for online pre-order remain unclear. It is suggested that Apple might opt for an initial online reservation system for in-store appointments, involving light seal and headband fitting. Gurman also expressed the belief that the launch of the Vision Pro in other countries worldwide will not be significantly delayed after its release in the United States. The United Kingdom, Canada, and China are among the countries being considered for the next wave of product availability.
