Apple Vision Pro Demos on Monday and Later Can Be Reserved Online

[MacRumors]

Apple today announced that Vision Pro demo appointments at Apple Stores in the U.S. on Monday and later can be reserved on Apple.com.

To reserve a free Vision Pro demo online, go to this page on Apple's website and follow the steps to book an appointment at your local Apple Store. It is also possible to make a reservation through the latest version of the Apple Store app. Apple will ask you a few questions to get started, including whether you wear prescription eyeglasses or contacts, in order to prepare ZEISS optical inserts for your demo if necessary.

In the meantime, Vision Pro demos are available from today through Sunday at all Apple Stores in the U.S. on a first-come, first-served basis. There is no way to reserve a demo on these days, so you simply need to show up and wait.

"Be one of the first to get a demo of Apple Vision Pro," reads a new banner added to Apple's website today. "We invite you to sign up for a demo at your local Apple Store. Demo times are available on a first-come, first-served basis. For demos on February 5 or later, you can also book an appointment online."

Vision Pro demos will take up to 30 minutes each, including setup time. During the demo, you will learn how to navigate the visionOS operating system, and explore built-in apps such as Apple TV, Photos, and Safari.

The demo is available to book online. Go to your Apple store app, scroll down to reserve a shopping sessionn at the store near by, it will bring up a shop with a specialist and give you the demo option.

When I went to it there wasn't an option for this weekend at any of my 3 stores. The only option it gave me was Monday.

Update: I went to one of my stores and there were not very many people at all. I canceled my Monday appointment and got on the list for today. Doing my demo in about 10 minutes.

Ok, I thought they all started today, and was really excited to try it out, so I got to reserve for Monday?

They did start today on a first come, first served basis. If you want to reserve a demo, the first appointments are Monday.

I would say it depends on availability at your local store.

Called a store at The Easton Towncenter in Columbus, and I can tell you they are impressed with the amount of people showing up in lines. Apparently all times Friday through Sunday are booked solid and they have people just waiting to demo the product or see it. The guy I called said “it’s just like the phones” - been at apple for 29 years he said and “he hasn’t seen anything like this.”

The guy I spoke with is as surprised as I am about the amount of people expressing interest for the product. He suggests they just want to demo the product but from my opinion it sounds like a great lunch day for Apple.

I give high praises to the Marketing Team at Apple for being able to create such a buzz around an expensive product of whose practical use is still being developed.

It’s awesome!

Indeed, no one will be eating Apple’s lunch today.

Wait so do I need to be the first one to show up today? I woke up early to try to book a demo.

at 8am local time, I went to apple.com to book a demo, but it must be done _in person_ for demos today tomorrow and sunday.
So, I walked to my Apple Store down the street (doesn't everyone choose where they live based on their proximity to an Apple Store?), and...
The ipads near the entrance have a QR code that takes you to the same page inside the Apple Store app as booking an advance appointment for Monday via the website.
*** YOU MUST SPEAK WITH THE RECEPTIONIST *** at the door to book an in-person demo for today (friday 02-feb), tomorrow, or Sunday and they will book you on their ipad with your full name and phone number.

The SMS has a link to "answer vision questions ahead of time".

After answering the same questions which are asked to order your actual AVP, a message is shown that ***ZEISS LENSES WILL BE PROVIDED*** and to please bring your eyeglasses with you:

What if I wear glasses or contacts?​

Apple Vision Pro is designed to be used without glasses. If you wear prescription glasses, contacts, or over-the-counter readers, we’ll provide you with ZEISS Optical Inserts [emphasis added]. If you wear nonprescription contacts, we recommend you remove them prior to your demo.
When booking your Apple Vision Pro demo, we’ll ask you a few questions about your vision in order to personalize your demo experience. We’ll let you know what to bring or wear to your demo and make sure everything fits just right.

Most people who are doing demos are still Apple loyal fans. The average public doesn’t even know about this product. I have several friends and inner circle people who aren’t tech centric and haven’t even heard of this product. I’ll be honest Apple stores are already a nightmare to get into. This will only exaggerate my hesitation to go in store. Just my 2 cents.

Working today and part of the weekend. Didn't hurt to make a demo appointment. At least I know I can do it eventually?

Anyone else kind of grossed out with so many people trying these on their face?

Apple is good about cleaning off the devices with alcohol/disinfectant.

I’d wager a typical restaurant booth and table is dirtier. Going on Monday morning to try it. My wife asked “shall I keep your wallet at home?” And I told her “sure I have my Apple Watch with my cards 😆”

Is it weird that while I'm a huge apple fan for decades, I don't have any interest in trying this device? Is it because I'm old and weary of the headaches and neck pain it may cause? Never mind.

 

[LoveTo]

The perks of practically living on MR website. Didn’t know when the bookings were starting. Thanks to this post, was able to book a good slot! ☺️ Thanks MacRumors!!

Is it weird that while I'm a huge apple fan for decades, I don't have any interest in trying this device? Is it because I'm only and weary of the headaches and neck pain it may cause? Never mind.

I'm that guy who gets nauseous on tons of roller coasters, so yeah that's my main curiosity too.

I know it weighs like a brick, but I feel like... in 3-5 years, when this thing weighs half as much and costs half as much, could be very cool.

 

[reyesmac]

Demo the 5 things you can do with it.

I don't think it is weird at all.

Like you I have been using Apple products for decades, but this AVP just doesn't light my fire.

That doesn't mean it isn't / won't be any good… just not for everyone. 🙂

I reserved one for Tuesday. I’m very curious to see it for myself even though I’m not considering buying this first version.

 

[jz0309]

demo booked, glad it allowed past the weekend ...

Me too actually, I don't even wear my AirPods Pro in night when I am alone watching movie and all, as I always wanted to hear sound around me, and having VP on my face watching media, It will make me totally unaware of my surrounding, I don't know if I will like VP, but I go ahead and ordered it and Picking up tomorrow, give it a try to see how 10 days goes, if I wanted good not too much bothersome, I will keep, If not, pack and return.

Managed to get the first spot at a local store this coming Thursday. Excited to try it out. More excited to laugh at them when they ask if I want to buy one once the demo is over.

I’m baffled. Why would you be excited to laugh AT someone when they are just giving you what you asked for?
