Vision Pro May Only Be Accessible At Apple Stores By Appointment.

The Vision Pro headset from Apple is not expected to be available until early next year. If you want to buy it, you may need to make an appointment when it goes on sale, which is believed to be limited to a few Apple Stores around the United States.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the mixed-reality headgear requires unique changes for each buyer, making the Vision Pro rollout a large operation needing an appointment for customisation.

According to sources, Apple will offer the device in all 270 of its US retail locations, but will initially prioritize on major cities such as New York and Los Angeles for the Vision Pro sections before expanding to the rest of the country.

What the Vision Pro purchasing experience would look like

Apple stores in the United States will feature a dedicated space for the Vision Pro, complete with demo devices, accessories, and chairs. Due to high expenses and limited supplies, only a few demo units will be available in retailers.

To assure the proper fit, Apple is employing a technique similar to that employed for the Apple Watch in 2015, requiring in-store buyers of the Vision Pro to schedule a purchase appointment. Users may then supply their vision prescription for lens inserts online if necessary.

Vision Pro will first be available online through its web store in early 2024, before moving to other online stores.

To establish the exact size for accessories, online shoppers may need to give their prescription information and use the face scan app.

Apple is working on an iPhone app that will scan a person’s head and a physical machine to determine the proper light seal, which is required to prevent light from entering the wearer’s field of view.

According to people acquainted with the operations, Vision Pro’s debut could be its most difficult yet. The corporation will have to deal with difficult supply chain issues, train sales people on how to set up and utilize the gadget, and educate clients on how to use it. Apple may not collaborate with third-party retailers to make the Vision Pro available until at least 2025.

According to insiders, the device’s attachments offer logistical issues as well.

Vision Pro may expand beyond the United States later in 2024.

According to sources, Apple intends to release its headset in other nations by the end of 2024. The corporation is contemplating the United Kingdom and Canada as its first foreign markets, followed by Asia and Europe, although no final decision has been made.

According to the sources, Apple developers are now working on localizing the Vision Pro for various countries, including France, Germany, Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, and Korea.
