So if it comes with only two light seals, does that mean there won't be a setup session/appointment needed to find the right light seals from many diff face shapes as rumored anymore?
EDIT: For example, as an Asian, I always have to buy the 'low bridge' version of sunglasses (like from Oakley). Here's hoping one of the two light seals fits well for my face shape.

This thing will need a case when it's in a backpack. The box must also include a case...surely
You have to pay extra for the power cord and the band that goes on your head
Guessing it won't, as none of their products come with a case either. Will probably have to buy a 3rd party case or make they'll sell one separately.
How could it not work with external power? Would the VP turn off when you plug it in?
AirPods Max comes with a case.
Well, I guess you could call it that, but it only really covers part of the device to prevent scratches, not unlike the "Cover for Front Glass" that the Vision Pro comes with.
From my understanding, the marketing materials in June had mentioned you could plug in for all-day battery life, but then the recent marketing materials removed that mention. I hope they didn't back out on that feature. There's a chance that they decided you couldn't charge the battery and power the Vision Pro at the same time. I know some digital cameras I have had in the past wouldn't let me charge the camera via USB-C and use the camera at the same time, so it's not unprecedented. :/
An AirPods-like cover would cover the front and back of Vision Pro. I'll bet the "Cover for Front Glass" is like AirPods Max and covers both sides.
Well this has SOMETHING to do with the Apple Vision...the SDK is out.
Apple has announced the launch date of Apple Vision Pro, its much-touted spatial computing device. The mixed reality headset starts at $3,499 and will go on sale in the U.S. on Friday, February 2, with availability in Canada and the United Kingdom expected to follow later this year.
Apple has not yet revealed all the details about the device's configuration options ahead of pre-orders, which start on Friday, January 19, but we do know what is included in the box with every Apple Vision Pro.
- Vision Pro Headset: The headset is the primary component of the Vision Pro system, featuring advanced eye and hand-tracking technology via cameras, ultra high-resolution displays for each eye, speakers on either side, and an EyeSight front-facing screen. The headset comes with a minimum of 256GB of onboard storage for applications and media.
- Solo Knit Band and Dual Loop Band: These two types of headband are designed for user comfort and customization. The Solo Knit Band is a single band that wraps around the back of the head, while Apple says the Dual Loop Band features "a pair of adjustable upper and lower straps for a personalized fit."
- Light Seal: The Light Seal is made of a soft textile and likely comes in a range of shapes and sizes, flexing to conform to the user's face for a precise fit. This accessory helps to block external light, enhancing the immersive experience of the headset.
- Two Light Seal Cushions: These cushions come supplied in two sizes and provide additional comfort and light-blocking capability, ensuring a snug fit around the face to prevent light leakage.
- Cover for Front Glass: The cover protects the headset's front glass when not in use, preventing scratches and damage.
- Polishing Cloth: A soft cloth designed for cleaning the headset's lenses and front glass without causing scratches or damage.
- Battery Pack: An external power source for the headset, ensuring longer usage times and portability. The battery provides 2 hours of general use and 2.5 hours of 2D video playback on a single charge, according to Apple.
- USB-C Power Adapter: The adapter is used to charge the headset's battery pack, ensuring the device is always ready for use. It also may enable the Vision Pro to be connected to an external power source for longer periods of use than the portable battery allows, although Apple has yet to confirm this.
- USB-C Charging Cable: A cable for connecting the headset or the battery pack to the USB-C power adapter for charging.
Apple will offer optional optical inserts for users who normally wear glasses, but these are not included in the packaging and will be a separate purchase starting at $99. Apple is partnering with ZEISS to offer the inserts that can be customized to each person's vision requirements.
The inserts attach to the Vision Pro lenses magnetically, allowing for precise viewing and eye tracking. Glasses wearers will need a valid prescription to get the inserts, but Apple cautions that not all prescriptions will be supported. Optical inserts will be available to order online on Apple's website.
Apple plans to start offering Vision Pro demonstrations at U.S. Apple retail stores on launch day. Apple says that demo times will be offered through the weekend on a first-come, first-served basis, with signups to take place starting at 8:00 a.m. on February 2.

Unfortunately, at least based on the image leaks, it only covers the front glass part. :/
Ok, so this reads as sarcasm. However, in the event that someone does actually buy this, you would be better off not using it, ever. Put it in an air tight/water tight Pelican Case, unopened. Keep it for 20 years and then auction it off for a couple hundred thousand dollars.
they should have started selling on Feb. 14, that way we could expect the the pain of the cost…..
Preorders start Jan 19 nationwide in the US. GREAT! But the Marshmallow haired image person needs to go lol
Any word on a restocking fee? I’m interested in borrowing it for 2 weeks.
Do MacBook pros and iPhone pros come with a carrying case? No.
Touché, however the AirPods Max does which brings me to my point - what am I to use to house it when traveling? 🤔
What’s Appple Care going to cost? Anybody spending that much on a device would be nuts not to get it but if you need prescription lenses and you want Apple Care you’re probably looking close to $4,000 in states with a sales tax. There are, what, 5 states that don’t have a sales tax these days?
If supply is constrained just resell it on eBay. You might even make money on the deal.

Third party cases will be popping up soon... just like they do for all other Apple creations. If I recall correctly, there was a custom carrying case for Mac Studio within just a few days of it launching, and that was a relative surprise product (most were expecting the heavily rumored PRO & MAX Mac Mini at the time).
And I wouldn't be surprised to see third-party straps popping up right behind them: all colors, personalized, etc. (like Watch bands). And various personalization stickers & trim. Etc.
The Asian entrepreneurs in particular are quite agile at rapidly making & deploying accessories. Ebay and Alibaba should have stuff very soon. Some of it will probably beat the actual launch.
OWC will prob have an improved battery pack available within the next 30-60 days too, unless there is some proprietary lock-in built into this one… such that only batteries purchased from Apple can be used.

So exciting! I wonder what material the light seals will be to get such a snug fit. My Quest 3 "light seal" is pretty rigid and lets in too much light.
So, legitimate question here, but is there a way to check your prescription ahead of time to see if there's even a chance it will work?
