much will it cost you?<\/p>\n<h3>How Much is the Apple Vision Pro?<\/h3>\n<p>The Apple Vision Pro costs $3,499 for the base 256GB model, but there are more powerful options such as the 512GB model and the 1TB model, which cost $3,699 and $3,899 respectively. Apple hasn\u2019t yet confirmed prices for other regions.<\/p>\n<h3>When Does the Apple Vision Pro Come Out?<\/h3>\n<p>The Apple Vision Pro release date is set for February 2, 2024, in the US. Sales in other countries will follow later in the year.<\/p>\n<p>The new Apple Vision Pro will be available online via the Apple Store and at all Apple Store locations in the US. A worldwide launch has not yet been scheduled.<\/p>\n<p>According to Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst at TF International Securities, Apple is likely to launch its Vision Pro headset outside the United States before WWDC 2024.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIf Apple can launch Vision Pro in non-U.S. markets before WWDC 2024, it would be beneficial for promoting the global development ecosystem of visionOS,\u201d Kuo said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span id=\"apple_vision_pro_review_all_you_need_to_know\">Apple Vision Pro Review: All You Need to Know<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><iframe title=\"Hello Apple Vision Pro\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IY4x85zqoJM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>What is Apple Vision Pro?<\/h3>\n<p>Apple Vision Pro is described by Apple as a spatial computer that can blend the digital and physical worlds.<\/p>\n<p>To do this, Vision Pro uses visionOS, a spatial <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/3515\/operating-system-os\">operating system<\/a> built using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/2639\/macintosh-operating-system-mac-os\">macOS<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/25206\/ios\">iOS<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/758\/ipad\">iPadOS<\/a>, which users can interact with via eye, hand, and voice input.<\/p>\n<p>Through visionOS users can access and use familiar apps in a new and intuitive way. Users can also use a <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.apple.com\/design\/human-interface-guidelines\/digital-crown\" target=\"_blank\">Digital Crown<\/a> button on the headset\u2019s side to adjust the immersion level.<\/p>\n<h3>What Does the Apple Vision Pro Do?<\/h3>\n<p>With the Vision Pro headset, users can navigate and open apps simply by looking at them, pinching their fingers to open or select, flicking to scroll, and using their voice to dictate or type on a virtual keyboard.<\/p>\n<p>These inputs can be used to watch films, take photos, and interact with other apps. All apps can be moved and scaled to different sizes in the user\u2019s local physical environment.<\/p>\n<p>Vision Pro will also change how you communicate via FaceTime. The Vision Pro headset scans your facial features to create a hyperrealistic avatar that will be your digital persona.<\/p>\n<h3>Available apps<\/h3>\n<p>The device does come with a wide range of apps.<\/p>\n<p>Apple Apps supported by Vision Pro include Apple TV, Apple Music, Freeform, Safari, Photos, Notes, App Store, Mail, Messages, Keynote, and Mindfulness, an app built specifically to encourage mindfulness and meditation practices.<\/p>\n<p>Numerous third-party apps will also be available using the Vision Pro headset, including ESPN+, NBA, MLB, PGA Tour, Max, Discovery +, Amazon Prime Video, Paramount+, Peacock, Pluto TV, Tubi, Fubo, Crunchyroll, Red Bull TV, Imax, TikTok, and Mubi.<\/p>\n<p>While the Vision Pro is well-supported with Apple apps, some key, third-party apps are missing at launch. The lack of Netflix, YouTube, and Spotify are notable absentees, with no confirmation of native apps in the works. That said, these services can still be accessed through a browser.<\/p>\n<p>Although Vision Pro works as a standalone device it can also integrate with other Apple products. When paired with a Mac, the Vision Pro can function as a portable 4K display.<\/p>\n<p>The Mac Virtual Display feature enables users to wirelessly integrate their Mac&#8217;s display with the Vision Pro.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_160991\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-160991\" style=\"width: 1960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-160991 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Apple-Vision-Pro-availability-lifestyle-EyeSight_big.jpg.large_2x.jpg\" alt=\"a woman wearing virtual reality goggles\" width=\"1960\" height=\"1306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Apple-Vision-Pro-availability-lifestyle-EyeSight_big.jpg.large_2x.jpg 1960w, https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Apple-Vision-Pro-availability-lifestyle-EyeSight_big.jpg.large_2x-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Apple-Vision-Pro-availability-lifestyle-EyeSight_big.jpg.large_2x-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Apple-Vision-Pro-availability-lifestyle-EyeSight_big.jpg.large_2x-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Apple-Vision-Pro-availability-lifestyle-EyeSight_big.jpg.large_2x-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Apple-Vision-Pro-availability-lifestyle-EyeSight_big.jpg.large_2x-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1960px) 100vw, 1960px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-160991\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">EyeSight for Apple Vision Pro helps users stay connected to the people around them.

If this is correct then it is a promising sign for the product&#8217;s longevity \u2013 particularly when considering the high starting price of the device.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe Vision Pro launch is extremely important for multiple technologies and trends (AR, MR, VR, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/top-enterprise-use-cases-of-spatial-computing\">spatial computing<\/a>, head-mounted displays) because it validates the market for all the providers that have been working in this space for the past decade+,\u201d Tuong Nguyen, Gartner analyst, told Techopedia.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cOne of the barriers to adoption has been a robust ecosystem underlying these tech and trends. By validating the market, it will increase interest from providers (hardware, software, services, applications) which will help grow the ecosystem required to make this industry grow,\u201d Nguyen said.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Rolf Illenberger, founder and managing director of B2B enterprise software platform <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vrdirect.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">VRdirect<\/a>, is also optimistic about Vision Pro\u2019s outlook.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIf you look at the rumored sales numbers and see that they\u2019ve already sold 200,000 units, I think for a first-generation, beta product largely focused on developers with a price point to prove it, that would be a major win,\u201d Illenberger said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As interest in spatial computing increases and more people experiment with the technology, the potential use cases will become increasingly well-defined. However, that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean the technology will achieve mainstream adoption.<\/p>\n<p>This week, reviewers and industry experts have been testing Vision Pro and can now share their experiences.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cLiving in the Vision Pro for the past week has been one of the most complex experiences of all. It&#8217;s one of the hardest products I&#8217;ve ever had to evaluate. Parts of it are stunning. Others don&#8217;t feel entirely finished,\u201d said CNET\u2019s Scott Stein.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Stein was impressed by the VR headset\u2019s display quality: \u201cThe display quality and the finessed interface make the Vision Pro feel like it&#8217;s in a whole other class, though. The dual 4K micro-OLED displays, a technology that will make its way to other headsets in the future, are rich, vibrant and way above what competing devices offer\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Speculating about potential improvements, Stein highlighted haptics: &#8220;I want more precise controls in 3D space, something fully multifunctional. I&#8217;m not sure hand-tracking and eye-tracking alone can do all of that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wall Street Journal&#8217;s Joanna Stern also reviewed the Vision Pro and even tried skiing with it to test Spatial Video recording.<\/p>\n<p>She called her experience wearing the headset for 24 hours straight &#8220;painful, but insightful.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The Vision Pro has every characteristic of a first-generation product. It&#8217;s heavy, its battery life sucks, there aren&#8217;t that many great apps yet, and sometimes, it&#8217;s buggy,&#8221; Stern said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Stern discovered that watching movies and using Vision Pro as a work computer could be the most effective scenarios.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"challenges_on_the_road_ahead\">Challenges on the Road Ahead<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Upon release, several challenges threaten to limit the initial reach of the Vision Pro.<\/p>\n<p>One of these limitations is that the device has a low battery charge of up to 2.5 hours, limiting the time users can spend away from a power socket.<\/p>\n<p>Also, While the device does come with a wide range of apps, the lack of Netflix, YouTube, and Spotify leaves users unable to access some of the biggest consumer apps available.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the digital avatars offered by Personas may come across as unnatural and outdated, particularly for a device that costs as much as the Vision Pro.<\/p>\n<p>Price is another critical factor that might impede the device\u2019s mainstream adoption. Hardly enough users will be ready to spend around $3,500 for a mixed-reality headset to make the product widely successful. Reportedly, Apple plans to release a cheaper model as early as the end of 2025 to reach a wider audience.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#e5e54c;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#FFFF66;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n<p>However, the biggest problem that the Vision Pro has is that it needs to give users a reason to choose to perceive the world from behind a screen, rather than their own two eyes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>There seems to be no compelling reason to watch a film or connect to a conference call with the Vision Pro over using a laptop or TV.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Even Nguyen, who was positive about Vision Pro\u2019s role in validating the market said: \u201cI reserve judgment on other aspects such as value, ongoing demand for the device itself, and the ecosystem of applications and services built around the Vision Pro; because this hasn\u2019t been demonstrated in a meaningful way.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span id=\"the_bottom_line\">The Bottom Line<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Vision Pro is one of the hottest new Apple products, and even if it doesn\u2019t reach mainstream adoption it\u2019s certainly captured some promising initial interest.<\/p>\n<p>The device&#8217;s longevity will be determined by whether Apple can sell the idea of spatial computing as more than a marketing fad.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"faqs\">FAQs<\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"man_faq_sec\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/FAQPage\"><\/time><section class=\"ms_faq ms_card \" ><div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"><div class=\"accordionButton\"><h3 itemprop=\"name\">Is Apple Vision Pro VR or AR? <\/h3> <\/div>\n<div class=\"accordionContent\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" style=\"display:none;\"><p itemprop=\"text\">While Apple is marketing Vision Pro as a spatial computer, it\u2019s essentially an augmented reality headset that combines real-world and digital environments and provides interactivity between the two. <\/p>\r\n                <\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class=\"ms_faq ms_card \" ><div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"><div class=\"accordionButton\"><h3 itemprop=\"name\">Can you watch Netflix on Apple Vision Pro? <\/h3> <\/div>\n<div class=\"accordionContent\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" style=\"display:none;\"><p itemprop=\"text\">No, Netflix isn&#8217;t currently available on Apple Vision Pro.
