Apple Vision Pro pre-order guide: Price, release date & when you can buy
Here's how and when you can pre-order Apple's new spacial computer.
The Apple Vision Pro is the first new product from the company in several years, and its first full foray into the world of augmented reality and head-mounted displays. Described as a “spacial computer,” the Vision Pro aims to aid users in bringing digital content to the physical space around them. It’s set to arrive in February, but you can secure yourself a pre-order much sooner.

The Apple Vision Pro will retail for $3,499 USD, making it one of the more expensive products in Apple’s catalog. The price tag was a major talking point following the device’s initial reveal, but it’s yet to be seen how it stacks up against competing HMDs.
That’s how you can pre-order the Apple Vision Pro and when you can do it. Be sure to bookmark our Apple topic page as we cover the latest news on products and services from the company.

Anyone preordering a Vision Pro tomorrow? I'm still torn. I'm very interested in it, especially from an entertainment/home theater angle. Today Disney announced that they are not just throwing up the old 3d versions on Disney+. They are reencoding them to 4k per eye. They also said they would have the high frame rate versions for movies filmed that way. In short... Avatar 2 is going to look insane on this thing.
Using Moonlight to stream your gaming PC could be absolutely insane. Especially if you can play around with the aspect ratio and go super ultra wide or something.
Outside of that I'm not sure what I expect to use it for outside of the initial wow factor. And $3,500 is a lot of money. I've always enjoyed jumping on Apple platforms at launch, but doing so has not cost over $1,000.-

They are offering free demos starting February 2 in stores.

I thought everything was going to be going right for getting one. I had a final round of interviews for an iOS Developer position last Friday and all last week I was getting excited to be employed again and this was going to be the thing I splurged on. The interview went okay, but I suspected that I didn't get the job based on how the interviewers treated me at the end of it, and I was right unfortunately.
I may still pre-order it, but my job search has been absolute shit and it would be stupid to get it unless I find a job. -
Yes. I will buy the dumb thing.

Spoiler alert: it is a dumb thing.

100% here we gooooooo

That doesn’t seem so expensive. A Mac Pro is $6999 and a 16in MacBook Pro with a reasonable quality of ram is the same price.
-
the number of people spending $7k on a computer is miniscule. While this is indeed better thought of as a computer even $3500 is well beyond what even many enthusiasts will spend, especially for something that isn't even capable of being their primary device.

You get to be one of the first people to realize this thing isn’t for office productivity.

lol a fucking $6999 computer is just so ridiculous these days. That's more than our original IBM PC when NO ONE bought IBM PCs except businesses.

Adjusted for inflation IBM pc’s were more expensive: https://www.pcmag.com/news/1982-vs-2022-has-technology-really-become-more-affordable
Maybe the Apple tax is a myth.

There’s no Netflix or YouTube app for it
https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/18/24043540/youtube-spotify-apps-apple-vision-pro-visionos
Out of the 46 most popular apps on the App Store, none of them will have a native visionOS app at launch, according to findings from MacStories. This list could always change — and some of the apps will still offer Vision Pro support through their existing apps on iPhone and iPad — but the lack of native apps just weeks away from the Vision Pro launch isn’t particularly encouraging.-
But you can still play them in the browser, no?
-
You can run the iPad version but no bespoke support is a red flag of course.
-
well, they are coming eventually.
Think Apple wants proper spatial content and Apple is going to focus on Disney+ stuff.
I wouldn’t buy an AVP to watch Avatar 2 in 3D but it’s the first thing I’d wanna watch in it.
