The Apple Vision Pro was undoubtedly one of the most exciting announcements in the technology sectormore specifically in consumer electronics, from this almost sold out year 2023. As you may remember, Apple first showed its big bet at WWDC 2023, ending years of rumors about its plans for glasses, headsets, virtual reality and augmented reality, and although its future there are still many doubts, it is undeniable that the level of innovation of this device is more than remarkable.

Unlike what happens in many other announcements of this type, in which key data is barely revealed, Apple told us a lot of what we expected to know, or at least gave us a closer look. To give clear examples, before the end of the presentation we already knew that the starting price of the Apple Vision Pro will be $ 3,499 (I insist, it starts) and that it will initially be sold only in the United States (and it seems with a few restrictions). When? In this case, the answer was approximate: early 2024something that some will interpret as the first week of the year, others as the first month, and even quite a few people will take it to refer to the first quarter of the next year.

Well, according to popular analyst and leaker Mark Gurman, who, as you probably already know, specializes in predicting the next moves they’ll make in Cupertino, The Apple Vision Pro will go on sale in the United States in February. According to its sources, production processes have been operating at full capacity in recent weeks as Apple aims to complete the distribution of the first units to the stores selected for sale during January.

Gurman isn’t infallible (in fact, we’ve repeated some of his predictions on occasion that turned out to be wrong), but over time He has proven that he has contacts within the company and his success rate is high. On the other hand, we’ve also seen rumors from other sources that point to January or March, so one of them will have to be right if issues of any kind don’t prevent the Apple Vision Pro from going on sale before the end of the first quarter of 2024.

The plans to expand availability in more geographies are expected to be slow. This can of course be caused by several factors. On the one hand, all this time there have been rumors of problems in the supply chain, on the other hand, the complexity of the sales process they want in Cupertino, and of course also the understandable reticence to assess the initial market response, since We are talking about a particularly groundbreaking device that we do not know about, how it will be received by its potential customers.
