Apple plans to start selling the Vision Pro headset in the US early next year. Worldwide, however, you have to be prepared for an even longer waiting time, as you can now read.
The international rollout is not scheduled to start until the end of 2024, starting with Great Britain and Canada. It is currently not possible to say how things are in Germany. So it may be that we have to wait until 2025. By then, the next generation of the headset may already be available.
Apple is currently not yet satisfied with the wearing comfort of the Vision Pro, but there should be appointments at the start of sales in the USA to ensure that the size of the headband and the fabric cover then also fit the user.
But Apple also wants to sell the headset online. Therefore, an iPhone app is currently being planned so that the user’s head can be scanned so that the correct size of the headband etc. can also be selected.

Apple Vision Pro im Detail
It has been speculated for a long time, today Apple Vision Pro, which will be released in 2024 and will cost from $ 3,499, was presented, mixed reality glasses that integrate the computer interface into the real world. Apps appear fully integrated in the current room, and you can move around in other environments, just like with VR glasses. The system does not require a controller, it is controlled with the eyes and hands. The computing power is provided by an M2 and the new R1 chip.
The resolution of the internal displays exceeds anything previously installed in other devices. The Vision Pro has a total of 64 pixels per iPhone pixel – MicroOLED is Apple’s technology of choice. 23 million pixels on the surface of a sticky note, as the presentation put it. that would mean more than 4K per eye.
It is also possible to see people outside who can also see the user’s eyes using a special 3D screen. This should not result in any foreclosure. This feature is activated automatically as soon as a person approaches. According to Apple, this was technically extremely demanding – if not one of the biggest challenges during development.
Likewise, other devices such as MacBooks can be integrated wirelessly, whereby different screens can then be combined in Apple Vision Pro. Vision Pro is also compatible with Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad, and Apple says the new App Store will feature hundreds of thousands of popular iPhone and iPad apps.
Particular attention is also paid to opportunities to work together on projects, whereby a lot of information can be shared quickly and easily.
Vision Pro should also be very suitable for entertainment, films, series, even in 3D. Apple Arcade games can also be played with a controller.
A closer collaboration with Disney+ is also announced, pointing to sports via ESPN, science on National Geographic, as well as Disney’s brands such as Star Wars and many others.
“Developing our first spatial computer required invention in almost every area of the system,” said Mike Rockwell, vice president of Apple’s Technology Development Group. “By tightly integrating hardware and software, we have developed a self-contained room computer in a compact, portable form factor that is the most advanced personal electronics device ever.”
