Vision Pro Demos Begin Tomorrow at All U.S. Apple Stores

[MacRumors]

Apple Vision Pro launches in the U.S. this Friday, and you will be able to try out the headset at your local Apple Store on the same day.

Starting tomorrow at 8 a.m. local time, all Apple Stores in the U.S. will allow customers to receive a Vision Pro demo, which is expected to last around 20 to 25 minutes. From Friday through Sunday, you can only sign up for a demo in person on a first‑come, first‑served basis. Demos on Monday and later can be reserved online.

Given that the Vision Pro starts at $3,499, these free demos will be especially important for customers who want to experience spatial computing without spending a fortune. During the demo, they will learn how to navigate the visionOS operating system, and explore built-in apps such as Apple TV, Photos, and Safari.

can't wait to demo the future of computing

What no stores offering 12:01 appointments?

Demos only for the weekend? That will be a major bummer…

 

[vertsix]

Anyone know where to go to set up these appointments?

I hope all the guys waiting on V2 and V3 get to at least demo this one.

Us V1ers will help work out the kinks for y’all. We walk so y’all could run.

Just can't help envision an updated 1984 commercial, but instead of Apple throwing the hammer that breaks the screen, now there is a hoard of automatons marching in sync while wearing these Apple headsets...

My understanding is that since it's a first come, first served basis we'll need to sign up in person. Which I'm not all that happy about. Closest Apple Store to me is 90 minutes away. I plan to be there Saturday right at open but I don't want to drive that far to find out I need to stick around for an appointment at 5pm.

Are they taking reservations for appointments? "First come, first served" suggests otherwise.

I'm picking mine up at 8:30am, and was given a time slot to do so.
I didn't have a choice to just pick it up.
Well, if it sucks I may just return it right away. But I doubt it will be anything less than impressive.

I hope they are not like doctor's appointments:

Mr. Vegeta, the DoctorGenius will be right with you

funny - i read disappointment...

1984, bro. 1984...

most spots available at the store in our city...

What do you mean? Are you claiming you can see appointments somewhere? (already?)

First come first serve basis means in store appointments.

That’s the entire point of the demo isn’t it?

 

[Pinterra]

I can't believe it's this confusing this close to launch. I'd have to save for a few months to afford one, so I'd really want to check one out soon. But I also don't want to hang outside an Apple Store all weekend in the hopes of doing so (and I also have to work on Friday!). There really ought to be an online sign-up system. I hope they send one live soon.

Did anybody else read the thread title as 'Vison Pro disappointments begin tomorrow at all US Apple Stores'

Store employees should get $0.50 per “wow”, potentially earning an extra $250 in one day.

Why force me into a demo if I already bought it?
I just want to pick it up and go to my appointments for the day

The photo says it all. The poor dude working can’t afford it while the rich housewife shows up to blow $4k on a novelty. It’s the $10k watch all over again.

Or she’s a nanny from Finland and he’s a student from India.

Knowing that Tim the bean counter would cap that at 0.05 cents and up to $40 per day. /s
