Apple Vision Pro expected to launch in late January or early February

Even though the Vision Pro has been known for over six months (not to mention years of rumors), one of the biggest mysteries surrounding consumer electronics going into 2019 is Apple’s first “spatial computing” device.

Not only is it a completely new form factor and category for the company, but even for customers willing to pay more for Apple products, the price is prohibitive. You’ve got a steep uphill battle ahead of you when you consider VR’s decades-long inability to live up to expectations.

The Vision Pro is described by Kuo as “Apple’s most important product of 2024.” It’s a difficult claim to refute given the years of conjecture and the significant time and resources the company has undoubtedly invested in the headset.
