Apple’s Vision Pro mixed reality headset is an absolute marvel – stunning and powerful, delivering virtual and augmented reality experiences like no other. It’s Apple’s boldest move since reviving its Mac business in ’98, and the buzz is, they’re gearing up to drop these bad boys in retail stores worldwide after the New Year.
Now, here’s the scoop from tech whiz Mark Gurman: Apple’s planning to train its troops on how to handle the Vision Pro, getting them prepped for the grand arrival expected by the end of January. No surprise there; Apple did promise the Vision Pro in 2024, and the slow reveal through hands-on experiences and info drops suggests they’re getting everyone – from the retail squad to the media – ready to explain this tech wizardry to us regular folks.
For all the coolness packed into Apple’s first VR/AR gear, it doesn’t quite fit the Apple product mold. So, the training isn’t just about what the Vision Pro can do; it’s also about wrapping your head around the price tag, the need for customization, and why there’s an external battery in the mix.
And let’s talk about that price – $3,499! That’s like a high-end MacBook Pro or double the fanciest iPhone. Apple’s probably thinking of a squad of tech-savvy early adopters and Vision Pro enthusiasts to kick things off, paving the way for more budget-friendly versions rumored to hit in 2025.
Now, onto the cool tech stuff – Spatial Computing. Apple’s cooking up a whole new digital experience, basically computing in a 3D space. It’s like your computer world turning Upside Down, minus the scary bits. But, truth be told, there’s a learning curve even though Apple’s made it all pretty intuitive.
