No fitting process. And you can pre-order online. I don't think anyone has confirmed the second foam insert is even a different size. I think its a spare when your first one get gross or your want a guest to try it. VisionOS does prominently feature a guest mode (a first of the non Mac OS devices)
Got a tip for us?

The initial run gets cut in half with every new rumor. It’s already a flop.
thanks to all you who have too much money that can drop that amount of cash on a beta project so apple can justify additional R&D (not that they're strapped for cash) to make it lighter, better and hopefully less expensive over time.
The HomePod is being ignored? They just updated it last year… i have multiple minis and a full size and love the whole home audio aspect of it.
Full size was discontinued. Beats makes one.. Apple does a little update here and there. But they definitely could care less other than you will subscribe to something that gets them a cut. It's that kind of product. Otherwise we'd still have the big HomePod right?
Ummm we do have a big HomePod… it came out in January 2023…I have one. where have you been?
We do have the big HomePod again. It probably doesn’t sell much at all, but it is back.
HomePod (2nd generation)
High-fidelity audio. Intelligent assistant. Home hub that works across devices. HomePod is a powerhouse speaker with the privacy of Apple built in.

Well I wasn’t gonna pre order but now I’m absolutely snagging 2 for resell.
The problem with pre-ordering on Jan 19, is very very few people will have actually worn and tried out the device. People who do place pre-orders will be buying based on the pre-launch video and what influencers have said. I for one, want to at least see for myself what it's like before buying.
This is the hottest take I have seen on the internet. It's off topic but I am triggered. Taylor Swift is a business and entertaining genius but in writing, singing, look, she is slightly above average. BOB DYALN?!! Her songs are pop nonsense of no particular enduring artistic value - and I even like Swift and listen to some of her music.
I hope you get stuck with it. Scalping is such a crap thing to do.
Those figures are the minimum. Higher configs will cost more resulting in higher gross revenue for apple.
I think it's safe to assume apple's gross margin for the AVP is at least 25%, though typically I think its gross margin is around 38%-40% if I'm not mistaken. Obviously just guessing on the AVP part.
I guess we'll find out for sure if a bunch of these become available as refurbished soon after launch.
If this turns out to be the case, apple might have to start charging a re-stocking fee to deter returns.
In many large cities $3500 is one months rent lol.. It's really not a whole lot of money. My car was $40,000... My house is $250,000... My college education was $100,000.
Pop Quiz, Jim Bob:
Person 1: buys a Vision Pro @ $3500
Person 2: buys 2 Vision Pros @ $3500 each , sells 1 for $7000
Who has more money in the end?
I have plenty of interest… by my wallet and wife both say "oh hell no!!"
Corporate pathfinders. There may be applications, to be determined, that are opened up by the technology. Compared to the equipment and software purchased for many professionals, $3500 is not very large.
Precisely. It creates hype and gets people talking as it appears to be in demand. It also creates FOMO and inevitably increases sales overall.
Probably still Person 1, because they have enough not to play silly games like reselling for profit.
I use eBay a lot, and the seller fees plus shipping cut into a lot of the profit. A realistic selling price for a sold out Vision Pro might be $4500, of which eBay takes a $600+ cut, not including $50 shipping and materials, even if you bought without tax you’re only getting $350 in profit. If it sells for $4000, you’re losing money.
But even for $350, that’s about 5 hours total work PLUS risk. Not worth it in my opinion.
