Apple to Sell Vision Pro Outside the US After June 14

Despite having a tough time in the market, the Apple Vision Pro headset will be available beyond the US. The Cupertino giant aims to expand it globally to allow other users from other countries to enjoy it.

Currently priced at $3,499, the mixed-reality device will undergo a test of its appeal to international consumers.

Training Sessions Ahead of Apple Vision Pro Expansion

In preparation for the international rollout, Apple has commenced training sessions for hundreds of employees from its global stores, as per Bloomberg. These sessions, conducted in Cupertino, California, span up to four days and equip staff with the knowledge and skills to effectively demonstrate the Vision Pro to customers.

The Vision Pro: A Game-Changer in Spatial Computing

Touted as Apple's most significant product innovation in years, the Vision Pro is anticipated to be a leader in spatial computing, blending virtual content seamlessly with real-world surroundings.

Despite its groundbreaking technology, the Vision Pro has thus far remained a niche product due to its high price point and limited application ecosystem.

International Expansion Strategy

The iPhone maker plans to unveil the Vision Pro in international markets following the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), aiming to capitalize on fresh opportunities for market penetration.

While specifics regarding the rollout remain under wraps, training sessions focus on key markets such as Germany, France, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and China.

Apple Vision Pro Faces Sustaining Demand

Apple faces the challenge of low demand for the Vision Pro amid evolving consumer preferences and competition from unofficial resellers. The company has intensified marketing efforts to boost sales and is exploring avenues to enhance the device's affordability without compromising quality.

Moving forward, Apple anticipates a potential uptick in demand with the release of the second version of its visionOS operating system in June. Additionally, discussions are underway regarding introducing a more affordable model to broaden the Vision Pro's accessibility.

According to MacRumors, it will be introduced outside the US after WWDC 2024, which will take place from June 10 to 14.

While Apple's mixed-reality headset is not yet available in your country, you can try a makeshift Vision Pro made by a YouTuber.

Tech Times reported that the content creator made a cost-effective substitute for the Vision Pro using materials he bought from a secondhand store.

Homeless is the genius behind this creation. He is widely known on the platform for his DIY (do it yourself) clips. He frequently crafts a product to mimic the original using cheap resources.

At first glance, it doesn't look like a knockoff VR headset. However, the most commendable part of the creation process is the finishing touches.
