Apple Vision Pro Delay for January 2024 Release

The latest Power On Newsletter via Bloomberg's Mark Gurman released a new report on the expectations for the upcoming Apple Vision Pro, with the famed insider saying that it would see a delay for its release.

While Apple promised the world that the Vision Pro is expected by January 2024, the reality would not be the same for preorders and those wanting to purchase the device early next year.

In Gurman's words, the Vision Pro is still expected to arrive early next year, but it will fall in the last month of the first quarter by March.

Apple would first release the Vision Pro to the United States before any other regions, and it would only be available via a direct sale from the company.

The reason behind this delay was not revealed by Gurman, but the insider claimed that fans and enthusiasts may expect a media event that would mark the official arrival of the wearable, centering on a Spring release.

Apple's Vision Pro: What to Expect?

WWDC 2023 was a massive experience for all Apple fans, as not only did it usher in new operating systems and software to the company's devices, but also the devices to expect from them. One of the most anticipated device was the mixed-reality headset which Apple revealed to be the Vision Pro, offering massive specs that promises to deliver an immersive experience for its user.

This "spatial computer" of a device offers an experience, and not only delivers games or mixed reality for its future users, centering on a three-dimensional experience with its ultra-high definition display running the visionOS.

There are massive factors surrounding the release of the Vision Pro, Apple's first take on the mixed reality wearable, one that already faces a dark road ahead for possible delays says Gurman.
