at this point who cares about it anymore, the Vision Pro is only interesting in full VR and we have plenty of options here on the market to buy for years now, non of them will ever be more then a gimmick for tech lovers or a gaming device.

No could about it…
The prices will be scary.
I am just an ordinary Brit going about his every day business earning a living, so are 99% of my family and friends… Spending £4,000 is a huge expense.
This (UK) economy is not doing well.
No idea who the buyers for this £4,000+ (single user!) AVP will be.
There are some exceptionally rich people, of course, but… are they the enthusiasts?
At my age, getting a tooth implant is more where my £4,000 will be going. 🙂
Ireland would obviously be a potential candidate too – can't believe TH didn't think of the country next door to him! 
If I had £4,000 to spend on a MacBook Pro or an Apple Vision Pro I most certainly wouldn't be wasting it on the latter.

Seeing the article's thumbnail, I still can't believe how accurate the rumor renders were on this thing.
I also don't know who the buyers would be, though I have quite some number of affluent friends who could comfortably afford one. It seems to be predominantly a toy/novelty, or a fancy way to consume movies and TV. Personally I don't even much like wearing headphones or a cap on my head, so can't see myself losing hours each week using one of these.
Haha! I'm sure Apple will find a way to notch it, or provide an island. It's their current signature.
I've heard plenty of people mention it, just not in ways that Apple would like though, I am certain.

Now that Apple's Vision Pro spatial computing headset has launched in the United States, when will it become available to buy in other countries? Here's what we know.
Officially, Apple has said that following the U.S. launch of Apple Vision Pro on February 2, 2024, the device will be coming to more countries later in the year, though the company has so far stopped short of officially revealing which countries and when exactly.
Fortunately, that's not the final word on the subject. According to insider sources at Apple cited by well-connected Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, the launch of Vision Pro in other countries around the world will not "actually be that much later" than its release in the United States.
Apple is discussing the United Kingdom and Canada as two of the first international markets to get the mixed reality headset by the end of 2024, according to Gurman.
Soon after, Apple is said to be looking at bringing the Vision Pro to the rest of Europe as well as Asia, with Apple engineers working to localize the device for France, Germany, Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, and Korea.
More recently, code discovered by MacRumors suggests Apple will soon add 12 new languages to the virtual keyboard on the Vision Pro. Right now, the device's virtual keyboard only supports English (US), which makes sense given that it is only available in the United States.
To bring the Vision Pro to new countries, Apple needs to add support for additional languages. The code indicates the following languages will be added:
- Cantonese, Traditional
- Chinese, Simplified
- English (Australia)
- English (Canada)
- English (Japan)
- English (Singapore)
- English (UK)
- French (Canada)
- French (France)
- German (Germany)
- Japanese
- Korean
It's likely that these language additions hint at the countries where Apple will launch the Vision Pro next, including Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and the UK. Hong Kong and Taiwan are also potential candidates.
International Launch in First Half of 2024?
Separately, well-regarded Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims that Apple will likely launch its Vision Pro headset outside the United States before Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in June 2024. Kuo bases his prediction on information that suggests Apple plans to share new details about visionOS – the device's operating system – with developers around the globe at its upcoming developers conference.
Kuo explained that Apple's reasoning for keeping sales of the Vision Pro exclusive to the United States at first is due to limited supply, a wish to ensure that the sales process goes smoothly before expanding it, and to provide time to modify its software to be suitable for other countries. Once these issues have been resolved, Kuo believes the Vision Pro will go on sale in more countries.
Apple does not anticipate partnering with third-party resellers to offer the Vision Pro until at least 2025, due to the complex supply chain logistics and staff training involved in handling the device and advising customers, according to Gurman.

So the return would be for ? What precisely ? I live in the UK and bought tech since 1985 and only returned one - the red ring of death for Xbox - now that was a disaster.....like the biggest tech fail this century....
I heard it is not all its cracked up to be…
Oh wait…maybe not launch till you figure this out?
What a cracking device!
You should have seen iPhone v1.0 a month after launch!
Hell even 2y after launch it was a VERY rare nerd-sighting.
Not that AVP is even attempting to enter the “cultural zeitgeist”. 🙄
What a weird thing to think for a v1.0 tech demo of a new computing interface.
Like iPhone, v1.0 tech demos are insanely expensive, for developers and rich tech enthusiasts only, and absolutely essential in order to have v4.0 that might actually do something, or the eventual SE version that might sell in large volumes.
I'm curious how many people kept them. I know people who bought them but like a lot of posts even here, after the 2 week trial period they went back. I wasn't sure this actually said anything about the product. It may say more about peoples willingness to take home a Ferrari if one is offered for a 2 week trial & a no questions asked return policy.
