While theApple Vision Pro set to be available in the US within two weeks, its global marketing date is still unknown. However, if we are to believe a famous analyst dedicated to Apple’s activities, the new augmented reality headset could arrive here in the first half of the year.

Known among fans as being one of the most informed analysts when it comes to the Apple brand, Ming-Chi Kuo is rather optimistic about the global marketing of Apple’s new augmented reality headset soon. Before June, if we are to believe its latest report published last Tuesday.

Apple Vision Pro available before June?

Apple should release its Apple Vision Pro outside the US market before WWDC 2024 » begins Kuo, while revealing the potential reasons for such a delay internationally. According to him, the main reason why the Cupertino company does not market the headset outside the American market as soon as it comes into service on February 2 is linked above all to too limited stock. On the other hand, Apple would like to ensure that the sales process within the American market goes smoothly before launching an attack on the global market. Finally, it would be necessary for Apple to take a little time to modify the algorithms of the device to adapt to the regulations of the different countries planned for future marketing.

So, the virtual reality headset will not be available immediately with us, but it should not be long. Indeed, and again according to Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple plans to reveal details of the development of VisionOS with developers during the dedicated show, WWDC 2024 (
Apple Worldwide Developers Conference). In doing so, being able to release the Vision Pro to the global market beforehand would be beneficial to Apple, in order to promote the development of VisionOS during the show. Every year, WWDC takes place in June. In other words, if we are to believe the analyst, the Apple Vision Pro should be available in many other countries before next June.

A 25-minute demonstration planned in store

On the sidelines of CES 2024, the Vision Pro is undoubtedly making waves. The headset is Apple’s new innovation, and the first range of new hardware since the Apple Watch. However, the prohibitive price and potentially nebulous concept of such a product can generate concern and potential lack of interest among the general public. For this reason, Bloomberg indicated yesterday that Apple was planning long 25-minute demonstrations in its stores for interested consumers. These should give a good overview of the headset’s capabilities, while making customers want to take the plunge.

As a reminder, no official release date for the Apple Vision Pro in Europe has yet been communicated by the Cupertino company.
