Apple officially revealed its AR/VR headset at WWDC 2023 on June 5th, marking the start of what Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman called “the beginning of a post-iPhone era.”

Now that we know that the Apple Vision Pro isn’t just a figment of our imagination, when can we expect it to grace store shelves? And do they plan on making these for everyone?

When did Apple release the Apple Vision Pro?

Short Answer: Pre-orders start on Friday, June 19, at 5 a.m. PST, with availability beginning on Friday, February 2.

Apple’s Vision Pro headset launched early in 2024, starting in the US market, with more countries following later in the year. And yup, they weren’t horsing around with that intel either.

The company began mass production earlier in the year, making the headset available for users worldwide.

Now that the Apple Vision Pro is available, users can experience augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) environments for various tasks, such as work, entertainment, and communication.

With compatibility with Microsoft Office apps, WebEx, Zoom, Disney+, and Apple Arcade, the headset brought a new dimension to everyday activities.
