Apple Prepares to Launch Vision Pro in UK, Canada, and Other Countries

[kkee]

Yes it is expensive as expected for gen 1 product, but prices aside it truly is a wonder of technology. Those who can’t see it is just plain ignorant. I am sure there are people in those countries who would really enjoy it like myself.

Im guesing 4000 €

If you configure a MacBook Pro 16" with 36GB of RAM and 1TB of storage on the American webstore, then it costs $3499, the exact same figure as a Vision Pro. If you configure the exact same spec in Belgium, you pay €4299. I don't think there's a valid reason to make the conversion different between one product and another. So my guess is €4299

Switzerland not on the list? Booooo

On the upside, while we'll be getting Apple Vision, you'll be getting Eurovision (song contest) next

 

[Stuipdboy1000]

Probably why we haven't seen the RC of visionOS 1.2 yet, as I'd imagine that includes all the localisations for these new countries.

I'm guessing for us n Australia Vision Pro with be $6-7000 dollars and after the rave reviews, I'll pass.

Thanks anyway Timmy, but if you haven't had a look around at the world right now, things aren't in a good way especially in terms of petrol and grocery prices, not that you'd know how much a litre of milk costs.

Also, thanks for putting the iPad Pro prices up in Australia, Apple truly are the only company that can get away with putting prices up in the current financial climate.

So altruistic of you and way to go bridging that gap that just keeps getting wider between the rich and the poor🙄.

your comments are very contradictor, literally every company is putting up prices.

Not sure if the hype train ever even arrived to the station to begin with. There was never a killer app previewed for it.

The ‘killer app‘ is the spatial multitasking.

 

[antiprotest]

Oh, I didn't know these still exist.

It's not hard to believe that this product launch has been a disaster for Apple when are tech companies going to realise that VR/AR is a busted flush that the public doesn't want?

Exactly
But some people on this forum don’t want to hear that

The proper AR glasses won't arrive for 4 or so years. Proper glasses with waveguide lenses or direct fibre driven vision. No screen. There is a reason they are pushing AR over VR.

This however is fantastic for a lot of industries. Manufacturing, 3d, medical etc. And the next version will be 1/3rd the price and a lot simpler. If it could hit 1000 then they'd sell millions.

Or is it because you have zero vision of the future?
No monitors...infinite screen space.
3D interactive apps not constrained by a box.

beyond that normal glasses size AR.

Oddly one of the most compelling examples is Lego Bricktales.

If it was like $499 I would buy one. Canadian. But it will be at least 10x that

If you think that something with that amount of technology could cost $499, you don't even know what you're talking about.

Buy a Meta Quest 3 : it's a device I love, but it's something else entirely.

I think what hype this product once had has already died out.

This product was dead on arrival

 

[eeek5127]

just think- hundreds of more users will get to experience it

 

[lk400]

iPad Pro is more expensive everywhere because it includes incredible new display technologies. Apple has worked to keep prices as low as possible by trimming back some features that only a small number of people used. Apple doesn't price gouge and always wants to get their products into the hands of as many people as possible.

And you’re sure we are going to love it!

 

[tkaravou]

DOA if this is $5000+ in Canada for the base

If you were working in an Apple Store in February, there was a ton of hype. We were doing a dozen demos an hour- the most my store could handle.

I saw a photo of the Fifth Ave store the week after launch, and they were in the midst of 22 demos at 1:00am!!!

Sure, the hype died down after about five weeks, but that was expected. I’m sure stores in overseas markets will see the same thing stores in the US did.

Has anyone figured out what to actually do with this product yet?

Not even Apple has.

Super niche, I know, and doesn't justify the price on its own (of course not) but I build large Lego models, and having huge instructions floating in front of you is awesome.

That does sound really cool actually!

 

[lenningj]

Only worth possibly starting to consider if you work for apple as discount gets you the Vision Pro for $/£2624.

Absolutely, having a AR/VR Bricklink Studio on it would be fantastic.

Porn will be its saviour.
