It’s finally time: Apple has announced it will start shipping its Vision Pro headset on February 2nd in the United States. Pre-orders begin January 19th.
Apple first revealed the Vision Pro headset during its Worldwide Developer Conference last June. The $3,499 Vision Pro offers a 4K display for each eye and lets you switch between augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) using a dial located on the side of the headset. It’s powered by a dual-chip setup featuring Apple’s in-house M2 chip and the new R1 chip, which is dedicated to processing data from built-in sensors, cameras, and microphones. Users can also navigate the interface without a controller, as the device supports eye, head, and hand tracking.
