Ahead of Vision Pro's launch, most of Apple's other retail stores across the country have shortened their Sunday hours. According to Apple's official website, at least 70 Apple retail stores in the United States will close early on Sunday. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said in a newsletter earlier this month that all Apple stores will hold three-hour all-staff meetings on January 21, the day some stores close early.
According to Gurman, some employees believed the meetings would discuss VisionPro's sales procedures and other training materials for Apple's headset.
Apple did not respond to a request for comment. VisionPro will be available in the United States on February 2, with pre-orders starting this Friday. Starting at 8 a.m. local time on February 2, at least some Apple stores in the United States will allow customers to sign up for demonstrations of the headset. Apple said demos will be available in stores on a first-come, first-served basis from February 2 to February 4.
