The Apple Vision Pro will be available beginning Friday, February 2nd, at all U.S. Apple Store locations and the U.S. Apple Store online, but expect supply to be extremely limited at launch and for the foreseeable future.
Vision Pro is a revolutionary spatial computer that transforms how people work, collaborate, connect, relive memories, and enjoy entertainment. Vision Pro seamlessly blends digital content with the physical world and unlocks powerful spatial experiences in visionOS, controlled by the most natural and intuitive inputs possible — a user’s eyes, hands, and voice. An all-new App Store provides users with access to more than 1 million compatible apps across iOS and iPadOS, as well as new experiences that take advantage of the unique capabilities of Vision Pro. Pre-orders for Apple Vision Pro begin Friday, January 19th, at 8am ET / 5am PT.
Apple is planning to produce between 60,000 and 80,000 Vision Pro units for the February 2 launch of the device, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. With the small size of the shipment, Kuo believes that the Vision Pro will “sell out soon after the release.”
Kuo made similar comments earlier this week when he said that demand for the headset would cause it to sell out during pre-orders, and he believes there will be long shipping delays after the initial launch period. Apple is expected to produce fewer than 400,000 Vision Pro headsets in 2024 due to the complexity of manufacturing.

Am I that only one that thinks they will have a huge logistical problem selling a lot of these things if every customer has to come in to an Apple store to spend (how long?) time getting fitted?
I fail to see how modern Apple is any different from Microsoft or Google these days, which makes me think that leadership and the people that have populated the company under said leadership aren’t any better than what we used to decry in the past. Pretty sad, and I kind of hope this blows up in their faces. Unbelievably, against all reason, Microsoft and Google are still worse, and that bodes not well at all for the future of tech overall. Turns out monkeys don’t eventually write Shakespeare; they make a Vision Pro.
