However, UK consumers will have to wait longer before they can get their hands on it, as per a Bloomberg report. It mentions Apple's plans to expand internationally by the end of 2024.

During the appointment, customers' heads will be measured using a physical device or an iPhone app currently in development to ensure a perfect fit and optimal light blocking. Apple aims to provide a superior user experience for such a high-end product, but this approach limits its sales opportunities. Third-party distribution of Vision Pro is not planned until at least 2025.
