The much-anticipated Apple Vision Pro headset is now available for purchase for those who preordered it, or for a test drive for those interested in experiencing it in person. This AR/VR headset is being hailed as the future of spatial computing, but its hefty $3,499 price tag and the absence of popular apps like Netflix and YouTube at launch may make it a niche product initially. Despite this, it has already garnered between 160,000 and 180,000 preorders, indicating a strong interest from early adopters.
Key Takeaway
The Apple Vision Pro headset is now available for purchase and in-store demos. Potential buyers can place orders on Apple’s website, while those interested in trying it out can sign up for in-store demos at select locations.
