YesSpeculations and rumors about the Apple Vision Pro sale date are finally over.. And although the latest rumors turned out to be wrong in the end (and I regret it, because the thought that it would coincide with my birthday seemed like a sign of fate), all the theories that showed between the second half of January and the first of February were quite accurate. Of course, we cannot say the same about those who announced that its availability will be limited, but we will remind you about all this a little later.

First, we will give the most expected information, the official date or, more precisely, the dates, and that’s it The first units of the Apple Vision Pro will start arriving to customers on February 2but it will also be possible to produce a pre-order from January 19, i.e. already on Friday next week. “Early 2024” sounded far away when we first heard it in early June last year, but now the market debut of the Apple Vision Pro is just around the corner.

The most surprising and interesting thing about this announcement is that, contrary to what numerous leaks led us to believe (which, of course, turned out to be false), the availability of the Apple Vision Pro will be much, much higher than before. expected, to the extent that Cupertino confirms that its space computer It will be available at all Apple Stores and the Apple Store online in the United States. So, of course, it now remains to be confirmed whether, as was assumed at the time, all of these stores will be adapted to have a dedicated space, solely so that potential customers can try out the equipment.

That, We are less than a month away from the big litmus test of one of Apple’s riskiest bets in a long time, although, it must be said, also one of the most innovative. And for years it was “known” (unofficially, of course) that the company was working on an augmented/mixed/virtual reality device, but of course it was widely assumed that it would just be that the viewer would need to be connected to a computer and work.

So the surprise was considerable when during the WWDC 2023 opening keynote Apple showed us a completely autonomous device equipped with the Apple M2 SoC, and thus introduced the concept of a spatial computer, a far more innovative proposition than just another viewer, no matter how technologically advanced. Now of course the big question is how the market will react because like I said it’s a risky bet, but there’s no doubt that Tim Cook has put everything on the table to try and ensure success.

But let’s remember that Initially, the Apple Vision Pro will only be available for purchase in the United States with a starting price of $3,499and according to rumors, its international expansion will not be very fast. Of course, given what we’ve seen in terms of availability, maybe we’ll get lucky and not have to wait that long.
