Apple’s Vision Pro is expanding its reach beyond its initial launch markets. Announced at WWDC 2023, Vision Pro has captured the imagination of many with its promise of revolutionizing the way we interact with the digital world. Initially available only in the United States, the headset is now poised to reach a wider audience with pre-orders opening in a wave of new countries and regions.
The Vision Pro blends seamlessly with the digital world, offering users a unique augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) experience. Imagine working on a complex design project with colleagues scattered across the globe, yet feeling virtually present in the same room through collaborative AR tools. It has also opened doors for immersive entertainment experiences, transporting users to fantastical virtual worlds or allowing them to enjoy a front-row seat at a concert from the comfort of their living room.
The announcement of the global expansion of the Vision Pro’s availability coincides with the unveiling of VisionOS 2, the headset’s latest operating system update. VisionOS 2 introduces a range of exciting features designed to enhance the user experience. One such feature is Spatial Photos, allowing users to transform their existing 2D photos into stunning 3D experiences. Imagine revisiting a cherished vacation by putting on your Vision Pro headset and stepping into a virtual recreation of a breathtaking landscape you captured with your phone.
The pre-order schedule for Vision Pro in the new regions is staggered. China, Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore will have the opportunity to pre-order the headset beginning June 13th, with wider availability starting June 28th. For users in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, pre-orders open on June 28th with availability commencing July 12th. Pricing starts at USD$3,299 (approximately RM16,515.48).
