Vision Pro at Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2023, which marked Cupertino-based tech giant’s entry into a new product line in about 5 years. It will soon be available in the US. 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. The UK and Canada are identified as the “initial international markets,” with Europe and Asia following soon after. Nevertheless, the report clarifies that Apple has not made a final decision on this matter. The slow rollout can be attributed to various factors. Firstly, the product's untested nature and its whopping-high price tag of $3,500 make it one of Apple's most expensive consumer devices. Additionally, the logistics involved in selling the headset pose a challenge. Apple intends to offer a more personalized experience by requiring customers to schedule an appointment at one of its 270-plus US locations. 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.
