Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2023 was a huge success. The event included many significant announcements, such as: iOS 17, iPadOS 17, watchOS 10, tvOS 17, macOS Sonoma, 15-inch MacBook Air, the new Mac Studio, and the M2 Ultra. However, the most popular announcement was the new Apple Vision Pro headset. While we know a lot about the headset, there are still some lesser-known details that are worth knowing.
Exploring Apple Vision Pro: The Details You Might Not Know
Apple has been rumored to be working on a mixed reality headset for a long time. Recently, there were so many leaks about the device that it was hard to keep track of them all. Finally, last night, Apple announced its first headset, called the Vision Pro. The headset has a high price tag of $3499, but it still managed to generate a lot of excitement. However, there is some confusion about the headset’s features and availability.
First of all no, the Apple Vision Pro won’t be available to everyone just yet. It will be sold exclusively in the United States in early 2024.The headset will be sold exclusively in the United States when it launches early next year, and it will have a starting price of $3,499. In addition, Apple has announced that Vision Pro will have an age requirement of 13 and older.
If you wear glasses and are considering buying the Apple Vision Pro, you may want to reconsider. The Vision Pro does not support glasses directly. Instead, you must use magnetically attached corrective lenses from Zeiss. This is less convenient than other headsets, which use physical spacers to accommodate glasses.
The reason for this is that the Vision Pro’s advanced eye tracking capabilities are essential for its operating system, VisionOS. The reflectivity from eyeglasses can disrupt the eye tracking, so Apple has chosen to require the use of corrective lenses instead. If you want to preview Vision Pro early, it’s possible to do so even before buying it.
