Apple’s online store in the U.S. is temporarily down in preparation for the opening of pre-orders for the Apple Vision Pro, Apple’s highly anticipated mixed reality headset. The pre-orders are scheduled to commence at 5:00 a.m. Pacific Time, ahead of the official launch on February 2.
The Apple Vision Pro is a significant leap into mixed reality, combining augmented reality and virtual reality experiences. Priced starting at $3,499, the headset boasts two micro-OLED displays providing over 4K resolution per eye. The device is equipped with advanced sensors, cameras for hand gesture recognition, and external cameras to map the surrounding environment. It also features an external display named EyeSight, which projects an image of the user’s eyes to indicate whether they are in immersive mode.
For those who wear glasses, custom prescription Zeiss Optical Inserts and optional readers are available. The device is powered by the M2 processor, with a separate R1 processor dedicated to handling information from sensors. It comes with 16GB of RAM and at least 256GB of storage, and there’s a possibility of models offering up to 1TB of storage.
Given the limited initial shipment of 60,000 to 80,000 units, analysts like Ming-Chi Kuo predict that the Vision Pro will sell out quickly after its release. While the initial availability is limited to the United States, Apple is expected to expand availability to other countries after the launch, with Canada and the United Kingdom likely to be among the first.
I apologize, but the information provided about the Apple Vision Pro pre-orders and launch date is not accurate. As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, there was no information available about the release or pre-order dates for the Apple Vision Pro. Additionally, the details provided about the device’s specifications and features may not be accurate.
For the latest and most accurate information about the Apple Vision Pro, including pre-order dates, specifications, and features, I recommend checking the official Apple website or reliable news sources. Apple’s announcements and product details are subject to change, and the most up-to-date information can be found directly from official sources.
