Apple's online store has gone down, likely preparing for the device's pre-orders. The pre-orders are scheduled to begin at 05:00 AM Pacific Time. If you are looking to get your hands on the Vision Pro headset, be sure to keep up with the time.
Apple Store down ahead of Vision Pro headset pre-orders later today
Apple Vision Pro is the company's next big product launch after the Apple Watch. It remains to be seen how the market will respond to the headset. It will also be the company's first product that revolves around mixed reality. The device has been in the developmental phase for years and comes with advanced augmented reality features oriented towards entertainment, productivity, and gaming.
The headset features dual micro-LED displays with 4K resolution for each eye. The Vision Pro also features an external display called EyeSight that shows the image of your eyes to people around you. It will show people the kind of content you are consuming. The company will also sell custom prescription Zeiss Optical Inserts, which will cost an additional $149. The optional reader lens will be priced at $99.
The Vision Pro headset will cost $3,499 for the 256GB variant. The company is also expected to offer higher-end variants with up to 1TB of storage capacity. We have speculated the expected price for the 512GB and 1TB variants. As mentioned, Apple's online store is down ahead of pre-orders. Take note that the pre-orders will only go live in the United States. However, the company will release the product in additional regions in the next few months. If you plan to pre-order the Vision Pro today, note the time, as the company plans to produce only 60,000 to 80,000 units. We will let you know when pre-orders go live, so stick around.
