Mass deliveries of the Apple Vision Pro mixed reality headset to retail chains will begin in the first week of 2024. In this respect reports The MacRumors publication quotes a well-known insider and analyst at TF International Securities Ming-Chi Kuo.
Previously, Kuo claimed that deliveries of the MR headset should only be expected until the end of January. Apple had to change its forecast due to new data from its suppliers. The start time of device sales has been shifted from the beginning of February to the end of January.
Kuo estimates Vision Pro shipments to reach approximately 500,000 units in 2024. This modest figure by Apple standards is due to difficulties in manufacturing components for the MR headset. This primarily concerns the production of high pixel density displays, for which Sony is responsible.
Apple first announced Vision Pro at WWDC in June 2023. The headset was initially expected to be released in the first quarter of 2024. However, this period is only valid for the USA.
The initial price of Vision Pro will be $ 3,500 (about 322 thousand rubles at the exchange rate of December 25, 2023).
