Apple's Vision Pro headset has finally been released internationally, with the first wave of availability starting today in China, Japan, and Singapore. The $3,499 "spatial computing" device was first launched in the US back in February but has not gained much traction due to its limited regional availability. The second wave of availability is set for July 12 in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
While the Vision Pro has been praised for its technical capabilities and suitability for personal entertainment, its potential for productivity and gaming remains untapped. There are conflicting reports about Apple's plans for future mixed reality devices, with rumors of a cheaper alternative set for release in 2025.
For Apple to truly revolutionize the computing world with augmented reality, availability must expand, and prices must come down. This international rollout marks a crucial next step in testing the market demand for this groundbreaking technology.
