Apple has announced that the Vision Pro augmented reality glasses will be available in stores in the United States on February 2nd. Pre-orders for the device will begin on January 19th. The Vision Pro can be purchased at physical Apple Store locations and through the manufacturer’s online store.
This is the most advanced consumer electronics device ever created. According to Apple CEO Tim Cook, the revolutionary Vision Pro user interface will change the way we connect, create, and discover.
The price of the Vision Pro will be $3,499 (approximately 13,850 zł). This price includes a set of accessories such as a front cover, cleaning cloth, USB-C cable, and power adapter. Individuals who wear prescription glasses will need to order Zeiss prescription lenses separately, which will require an additional payment of $99 or $149.
The Vision Pro glasses will enable the merging of virtual and real worlds. They will be controlled through eye movements, commands, and gestures. Users will be able to interact with virtual content against the backdrop of the real world in front of their eyes. Apple also emphasizes that the Vision Pro will be an environmentally friendly product, built from 100% recycled aluminum.
However, it is not yet known whether the Vision Pro will be available on the market outside of the United States. There is a possibility that the price of the device will be too high for the average consumer. If sales were to launch in Poland, one could expect the price, including VAT and other fees, to be close to 20,000 zł. Therefore, Apple may decide to make the product available only in the USA.
