Apple Vision Pro, the company’s first release in a brand-new product category in nearly a decade, is nearing its launch. While the Cupertino, California-based company hasn’t specified a launch date, the mixed reality headset is confirmed to be arriving in early 2024. Recent reports have placed the release window for the Vision Pro around late January or early February. Apple Stores in the US are preparing for stocks to arrive ahead of the headset’s retail launch. In fact, Apple has reportedly begun shipping the Vision Pro to warehouses in the US.
In his Power On newsletter for Bloomberg, Mark Gurman claimed that limited stocks of Apple’s spatial computer had started shipping out to warehouses in the US ahead of distribution to retail stores. While the Vision Pro is currently shipping in small quantities, the iPhone maker reportedly believes it will have sufficient supply by the end of this month to cater for a February launch.
Gurman also noted that Apple could make an official Vision Pro announcement “in the next week or so,” right in the heels of CES 2024, which kicks off Tuesday. According to the newsletter, retail employees from Apple Stores across the US are heading to Cupertino to train for an unnamed new product. Back in December, Gurman had reported that Apple was scheduling these training seminars for its retail staff to teach them how to setup and operate the high-end headset, and how to sell it to a potential customer. Bear in mind that the premium AR/VR headset from Apple, initially only available in the US, retails at an eye-watering $3,499 (roughly Rs. 2,91,400).
