Apple has expanded the availability of its Vision Pro spatial computing headset to several countries including China, Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore. Despite a slowdown in sales in the United States, where the device has been available since February, the company is set to launch the headset in the United Kingdom and Canada on July 12, with additional markets soon to follow.
Consumer interest in the $3,499 headset has been mixed, with some users impressed by the hardware and technology while others have raised concerns about usability and comfort. Apple hopes to reinvigorate enthusiasm for the device with a staggered release in new markets. The company also announced visionOS 2, a major update to the headset's operating system, which includes new features such as a redesigned Photos app and support for a physical mouse. Overall, the future of the Vision Pro remains uncertain as Apple navigates the competitive spatial computing market.
