Apple announced its Vision Pro headset at its WWDC event last year. However, the company did not precisely state the product's release date. The headset is speculated to launch in the first quarter of 2024, and as the launch nears, we are now hearing details on the potential dates. It is now being reported that Apple will launch the Vision Pro headset in the last week of January, according to news from the Chinese investor news service.
According to a Chinese investor news service, Apple's Vision Pro could be released by the end of this month
Initially, Apple stated that the Vision Pro headset would be released early in 2024. The company is working with developers on visionOS, so the platform is ready ahead of launch. iOS 17 has been running into many issues recently, and the company has been working with developers to sort out bugs for a while. We have recently reported that the platform is breaking cellular connectivity on various iPhone models. Subsequently, the company wants to ensure that visionOS is fully ready before it is released with the Vision Pro headset.
According to Wall Street News, the Chinese investor news service states that Apple plans to release the Vision Pro headset on January 27, the last week of this month. The publication details exclusive information, hinting at the potential release date of the headset in the United States. However, the source mentions that the headset will launch in the United States on a Saturday. It remains to be seen if the publication refers to January 27 in China, a Friday in the United States. It could mean that Vision Pro will launch in the United States on January 26.
Apple does not launch any of its products on weekends, so the launch could likely occur on Friday, January 26. Usually, the company hosts its events on weekdays as it gains media coverage and stock market reaction. However, Apple has been silent on the Vision Pro headset launch event. If the company plans to host an event later this month, it will send event invites after the first half of January.
Previously, industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo stated that the Vision Pro headset would be released by the end of January or at the beginning of February. If the latest report has heft, we might see the Vision Pro headset sooner than later. Additionally, take the news with a grain of salt as the final word rests with Apple.
