announced Monday that pre-orders for its Apple Vision Pro mixed-reality headset will begin on Jan. 19. The headsets will be available at all U.S. stores, and the online store, beginning Feb. 2. Apple’s stock rose 0.6% in premarket trading, which puts it on track to book its first gain of 2024, and snap a five-session losing streak. The timing of the availability of the headsets was basically expected, as Bloomberg had reported in mid-December that they would be launched by February. The stock has shed 6.4% during its losing streak, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average

+0.07%
has slipped 0.6% over that time.
