Apple's localized Vision Pro page for Taiwan highlights the pre-order and launch dates and provides all of the usual details about the high-end headset. The online Apple Store for Taiwan has a purchasing page already live where potential customers can check out pricing and options such as storage capacities and ZEISS optical inserts.

Apple has two retail stores in the Taiwanese capital of Taipei, and the stores will be offering 30-minute demo sessions of the Vision Pro headset. More details on the demo sessions will be announced once pre-orders begin.

Taiwan will mark the thirteenth country or region with Vision Pro availability. After launching in the United States in February, availability expanded to Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the U.K., China, Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore in June and July. The most recent additions prior to today's announcement were South Korea and the United Arab Emirates just a few weeks ago.

Apple have been producing iPhones for many years now, it's already 2024 yet Apple cannot launch in one day for all countries that have been getting iPhones since day 1, how much more for a product pricier than the priciest iPhone ever produced...

They were probably worried they'd not have enough stock to go around.
The fact that they've launched so many countries less than a year since release goes to show that they probably were too optimistic in their sales projections

At this speed it will take years to launch it everywhere
 
So stupid and such a waste. Congrats to the 10 or so that buy it I guess?!?! 😆🤷🏼‍♂️ It’s already a colossal failure and losing their asses on the returns. Won’t even recoup the massive development costs. I would fire Cook over this failure personally. Yet, he gets rewarded for failure of said product. Corporate America at its finest.

Day 1 AVP owner. This thing still has a “WOW” factor when watching movies. And, the sound with AirPod Pros on is shockingly good. Apple is definitely onto something with the AVP. Once they get it smaller, cheaper and more apps come to the App Store, most Apple users will likely get one.

Firstly, it's great to see someone on here who doesn't trash it.

I agree that it needs to be cheaper and smaller to be a staple like the iPhone, iPad, Apple watch, Apple TV, Macs (in all their flavours). And the way you actually have to book a time slot just to try one is a bit limiting.

I shouldn't be, but i am flabbergasted that so many people come on this thread just to be boring and so predictable. They are embarrassing themselves, especially when they haven't even tried it, or probably even seen one.

Availability is slowly expanding to more countries which is good. Still waiting for it be available in my country. Not expecting to see any major increase in sales due to it being available in more regions.

All the developers and engineers that could have worked on fixing bugs in iOS or MacOS, wasted on some vanity project with no use case besides "watching movies alone".

But Cook needs to give the illusion of Exciting New Growth Markets to the stock market so he and his investor buddies can get even richer.

While I do think it's time for Cook to move on I don't think this was a fireable offense. Apple hasn't done much in the way of innovation for a while so it refreshing to see something different from them, albeit a product I felt was doomed to fail. Apple was definitely out of touch with the masses on this one but then again was it ever meant for the masses?

When you price something in the same bracket as a Mac Pro, then we have to assume no. Apple's marketing pushed the casual use scenarios but then maybe they just wanted to show people it wasn't just something for work.

Its easy to have knee-jerk reactions but how many of us bought one and have used it for months on end? We can't possibly make informed opinions on a product we have no in-depth experience of. Has it been a failure? People are still talking about it aren't they?

There could be many reasons, but if I had to guess I would say it's the logistics for a new product line. This is a very low volume product (relative to other Apple products), yet Apple has to ensure that seemingly routine things such as software is localised, in-store demos are perfect, advertisements are localised, any policies or procedures adhere correctly to that country.

Since nobody cares about this they’re trying to keep it in the news by slow dripping release to new counties, so it will get a bit of press coverage.
