Those who’ve been yearning for a chance to try the Apple Vision Pro headset and have the cash to spare won’t need to wait much longer to snap one up. The company says the hotly anticipated device will arrive in the US on February 2. Pre-orders for the $3,499 headset will open on January 19. The device will be available at all US Apple Store locations as well as through the company’s web store.
Those who require vision correction will be able to snap up Zeiss optical inserts and attach them to the headset magnetically. Readers will cost $99, while prescription lenses will set you back $149. The inserts will only be available for purchase online, so don’t expect to be able to wander into an Apple Store to pick them up. Naturally, you’ll need a prescription for the prescription lenses. However, Apple says that “not all prescriptions are supported.”
This is Apple’s first new major product since it introduced the Apple Watch back in 2014. The Vision Pro, which Apple announced at WWDC last year, marks the company’s initial foray into spatial computing. Apple revealed the Vision Pro release date just as CES 2024 is kicking off, likely to steal some thunder away from the show’s exhibitors without needing to actually show up in Las Vegas itself.
