The Apple Vision Pro headset is set for release in eight countries after its official release four months back. The countries slated for early pre-order sales of the model are Japan, Singapore, and China where a sub-$300 Apple Vision Pro alternative has been gaining popularity. The announcement was made during the annual Worldwide Developers Conference on June 11, 2024. The Apple Vision Pro was officially launched four months ago and Apple CEO Tim Cook announced the availability of the model in a sprinkling of some major markets.
The Apple Vision Pro is the Cupertino-based company’s first head-mounted display device with a long-term goal of replacing the hugely successful iPhone in the future. It is described as a new augmented reality platform and a spatial computing device. It can merge digital content with the real world to create augmented reality experiences for users.
Apple Vision Pro comes with a minimum storage capacity of 256GB and up to 1TB. Optical inserts on the model are sold separately, as is the case with what is obtained in the US market. A second headset could be in the works with the availability of the Apple Vision Pro in the international market. There are rumors that the next Apple Vision headset will be released in late 2025 or early 2026. Apple Vision Pro pre-orders for Australia, Canada, France, Germany, and the UK will open on June 28 but sales will commence on July 12.
At launch, the Apple Vision Pro retailed at $3,499 but minimal discounts have been factored in since then. The international pricing of the Apple Vision Pro significantly aligns with the US price with little variation due to currency fluctuations and location-specific tax policies.
The 256GB version of the Apple Vision Pro in China is priced at 29,999 yuan ($4,135) while the 512GB model is priced at 31,499 yuan ($4,342). The 1TB version of the Vision Pro headset in China will retail at 32,999 yuan ($4,549). The optional optical inserts for the Apple Vision Pro are priced starting at 7
99 yuan ($69).
