Tech giant Apple has announced the launch of its latest innovation, the Apple Vision Pro, in nine additional countries, excluding India from the initial rollout.
Apple revealed that pre-orders for the spatial user interface device will commence in China mainland, Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore on Friday, June 14, at 6 a.m. local time. The device will be available in these regions starting Friday, June 28.
For customers in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, pre-orders will begin on Friday, June 28, at 5 a.m. local time, with availability starting on Friday, July 12.
The Vision Pro, launched last year, merges digital content with the physical environment, offering spatial experiences that transform how people work, enjoy entertainment, and more.
"The excitement surrounding Apple Vision Pro has been incredible, and we are delighted to bring the magic of spatial computing to more users worldwide," said Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, following the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2024 on Monday.
"We are eager for more people to witness the extraordinary possibilities, whether it's working and collaborating with an endless canvas for apps, reliving cherished memories in three dimensions, watching TV shows and movies in a unique personal cinema, or experiencing entirely new spatial interactions that stretch the imagination," Cook added.
The Vision Pro is powered by visionOS, offering an intuitive spatial user interface that users navigate with their eyes, hands, and voice. Users wear the device over their eyes, interacting with apps by looking at them and tapping their fingers together. They can also dictate text, use a virtual keyboard, and ask Siri to manage apps, play media, answer questions, and more.
