At 21:00 on the evening of January 19, Apple Vision Pro officially started pre-sale in the United States. Three versions of 256GB, 512GB and 1TB are available, priced at US$3,499 (approximately RMB 25,000), US$3,699 (approximately RMB 26,600) and US$3,899 (approximately RMB 28,000) respectively.
Although the starting price is as high as 25,000 yuan, orders are still popular. Within 5 minutes of the scheduled sale, VisionPro's reservation server was overwhelmed, and many people's orders could not be processed.
Due to insufficient initial stocking, the inventory was sold out 18 minutes after the order was placed.Two hours after the order was opened, the delivery date was already scheduled for March, and some even as late as April.
Moreover, VisionPro is currently only available in the US market. Users must have a US Apple ID and place an order on the official website.
At the same time, during the ordering process, Apple needs to call Face ID to scan the consumer's face to match the most suitable head display and mask size. Some netizens are even unable to place orders because their necks cannot rotate to the angle required by Apple. These factors also increase the difficulty of ordering.
Various factors have caused the purchase price of Apple VisionPro to rise.Domestic third-party platforms show that the overseas purchase price is more than 7,000 yuan, and the price increase is generally tens of thousands of yuan.
It is reported that VisionPro uses the M2 chip, integrates an 8-core CPU and a 10-core GPU, 16GB of unified memory, and provides 256GB, 512GB or 1TB of internal storage space.
The device has 90Hz, 96Hz and 100Hz refresh rates, supports both 24fps and 30fps video playback, and is equipped with a 4K display for each eye.
Using the 1080p resolution AirPlay function, VisionPro can wirelessly cast content to other devices.
However, VisionPro weighs close to 680 grams, and the overall overweight of the product is a common criticism made by current users.
