And finally, let’s note the date. Apple has announced that its Vision Pro headset will be available for shipping on February 2nd in the United States, with pre-orders starting on January 19th. Priced at $3,499, the Vision Pro offers a 4K display for each eye, supports both augmented and virtual reality, and is powered by Apple’s in-house M2 chip. The headset runs on visionOS, Apple’s new operating system, and allows users to access familiar apps and 3D titles through the Apple TV app.
The Vision Pro headset will offer optical inserts from Zeiss for vision correction at an extra cost. Readers will cost $99, while prescription lenses will cost $149. The lenses are available only online; a valid prescription is required, and not all prescriptions are supported.
Why do we care?
Apple positioned this announcement right during the Consumer Electronics Show, which it doesn’t participate in. Start your timers for the first significant application developed for the Vision Pro.
